So I just swapped out the neck on my Warmoth Jazzmaster-y Thing and I'm having a devil of a time intonating the low E. Here's the setup:
Warmoth 10/16 compound radius neck (pau ferro on roasted maple if it matters)
Warmoth modified Mustang bridge (to accommodate the compound radius)
Standard tuning
Strings .011 to .052
Measurements on the low (meaning low in pitch) E string:
Relief .008" at the 9th fret
Action at 1st fret .025"
Action at 12th fret .08"
All the strings intonate just fine except that low E. I've got the saddle all the way forward and it's still reading ~40 cents flat at the 12th fret.
I've read through a number of intonation threads but haven't seen anything applicable to my situation. Apologies in advance if my search fu and/or reading comprehension have failed me.
Any pointers?
