Hi Guys,I have just finished my third build,I fitted it with part of an electric guitar adjustable bridge saddle,tuning is perfect until I check the tuning on the twelve fret.Can anyone please tell me how to adjust the bridge if the tuning is Sharpe and the same if it is flat.Mal

Tune string to right pitch with the help of a tuner. Then check the pitch at the 12th fret. If it's too high, you must 'lenghten' the string to lower it by moving the bridge saddle backwards ( away from the neck). If it's too low, move the saddle towards the neck (to shorten the string, thus make the pitch higher).
