Hi Everyone,
Having played electric guitar my whole life, I am unfamiliar with adjusting the intonation on an acoustic guitar. I just bought my daughter a half-sized acoustic, because she has been bugging me to teach her how to play. My guitar is too big for her, so I figured a half-sized, practice or travel guitar would be perfect. The size is perfect, but the intonation is horrendous. I am familiar with setting up an electric guitar, but the acoustic guitar doesn't have separate saddles that I can adjust with an allen wrench. Is there any way to adjust the intonation on an acoustic, that doesn't require anything major? Or am I just out of luck?
Thanks,
MikeP
