Hello
I have my Mccarty 594 with only 10 days.
Before I change the strings the guitar setup and intonation is perfect.
Yesterday I decide put new strings on it. I put on set of D'addario XL 10/46.
This strings have more tension, the action becomes very high, I have to tighten the truss rod a little bit and lower the the brigde on bass side (6th string side) I setup neck relief at 8 fret with 0.07", and the action on 12 fret with 2/32".
Now I have problems on intonatation of 5th and 6th string. More in 5th string the harmonic on 12 fret is flat, and the A on 12 fret is flat, I have to move the saddle back in direction to the neck. I have to put the saddle almost on the end of the screw in neck direction.
I think I need to long the scale a little bit. For that I have to loose the trussrod increase the neck relief and lower the bridge for same action, or tight the trussrod and raise the action?
