Question

What does intonation and action mean in guitar terms?

Answer 1

hey..

Intonation refers to the instrument being in tune along the fretboard.

An easy way to check the basic intonation of a guitar is to hit a 12th fret harmonic and compare the pitch with a note fretted at the 12th fret.

If the fretted note is sharp, the string needs to be lengthened.

If the fretted note is flat, the string needs to be shortened.

The length of the strings can usually be adjusted at the bridge of electric guitars and basses.

Tune each string to pitch before checking its intonation.

The action on a guitar is also slightly affected by the adjustment of the truss rod. Tightening the truss rod gives the neck a backward bow and tends to lower theaction, and loosening the rod gives the neck a forward bow, giving a higher action.Action on a guitar is usually measured at the 12th fret.
