So I have this Suhr S4 with a Gotoh 510. I'm a pretty handy guy and after many years of tinkering I've become pretty good at setting up my own guitars. This one however is giving me a bit of fits. It's a love/hate with this guitar. It plays great, sounds great, but doesn't stay in tune and after a few packs of strings I cannot get the intonation just right on it. Especially the high E. Typically on most guitars you'll get a stair step sequence from the D A and low E then it's shifts with another stair step with the high E B and G string. Notice in the pic how I'm almost out of adjustment on the high E
I've set the guitar up to Suhr's specs that they emailed me. I've cleaned the nut (and use big bends nut sauce), blocked the trem, and buffed the saddles with a dremel to assure no burrs.
Like I said, I love the guitar...but I'm about to send it off somewhere just to see what I'm missing.
Any ideas??
