It's 3 cents flat. I figured that was the "better" error, I know I'll never have a consistent pressure, but if I take the error out of the instrument, then I'm the variable to fix.

Topic: How good is good when setting intonation? (4 replies, posted in Electric)
I'm adjusting the intonation on my Gretsch.
I can tune the open strings to within a cent (using a Seiko tuner), and the 12th fret octave to within 2 cents, but the bass E string at the 12th fret I can only get within 3 cents.
My ear isn't that good, so my question is, "How good is good for intonation adjustment?"

Re: What type of electric guitar might fit this description? (14 replies, posted in Electric)
I like Jerome's Gretsch Electromatic. I have a '74 Gibson ES335 TD, a LP Studio Robot, a 2008 5120 Electromatic, and several antique Harmony guitars. The Electromatic is my favorite. Electified it's awesome, and without juice it's loud enough practice or intimate settings. Hollowbody or Semi-hollow is what you're describing, and all the suggestions are worth checking into. Go to Musicianfriend.com, then talk to your local shop.
