In the context of the "The Complete Live Guitar Setup & Intonation Course 2026," which critical factor, when misaligned, most significantly impacts both playability and the accuracy of harmonic intervals across the fretboard, often leading to perceived "sharpness" or "flatness" in chords?
Pickup height and pole piece alignment
Truss rod adjustment affecting neck relief
Saddle compensation and bridge height
Nut slot depth and width
Q2Domain Verified
During a live guitar setup session, as detailed in "The Complete Live Guitar Setup & Intonation Course 2026," what is the primary diagnostic indicator that a guitar's intonation is fundamentally flawed beyond simple saddle adjustment, suggesting a potential issue with the nut or fretwork?
Consistent tuning discrepancies across all strings when playing open chords.
Significant buzzing on specific frets even after adjusting string height.
The guitar sounding "in tune" when played open but "out of tune" when playing barre chords at the 5th fret.
A noticeable difference in tuning between the open string and its octave harmonic at the 12th fret.
Q3Domain Verified
According to the advanced techniques taught in "The Complete Live Guitar Setup & Intonation Course 2026," when performing a comprehensive intonation adjustment on a Floyd Rose-style tremolo system, why is it often recommended to tune the guitar *after* each individual saddle adjustment, rather than tuning the entire guitar and then making all saddle adjustments?
To allow the bridge to settle into its neutral position before measuring intonation.
To precisely calibrate the string tension's effect on the tremolo's floating position and prevent cascading tuning shifts.
To account for the stretching of new strings, which is more pronounced with tremolo systems.
To ensure the locking nut clamps the strings at their optimal tension for intonation.
