Intonation
To intonate each EverTune saddle, turn the hex key in the
intonation hole. To move the saddle back away from the nut,
turn the hex key clockwise (Fig. 8). To move the saddle forward,
towards the nut, turn the hex key counterclockwise.
IMPORTANT NOTE: After every intonation adjustment, we have to
re-adjust the saddle back into the playing position in Zone 2 using
the tuning pegs at the headstock. Every intonation adjustment
moves the saddle to a different point in Zone 2 and it can even
move it out of Zone 2.

Fig. 6 Fast Bends, Maximum Intonation
Two half turns of the tuning peg back from the boundary where
the note goes sharp is the middle of the sweet spot (Fig. 7).
Here, even bending is balanced out by EverTune. This is great
for rhythm guitar and studio overdubs and tracks with layering
of multiple guitar parts because the tune and intonation will
be constant from take to take and day to day regardless of
atmospheric conditions.

section at this page: evertune.com/setupfaq].

Action Height
To adjust the action height of each EverTune saddle, turn the
hex key in the action hole. To move the saddle up, turn the hex
key counterclockwise. To move the saddle down, turn the hex
key clockwise (Fig.9).
IMPORTANT NOTE: After every action adjustment, we have to re-
adjust the saddle back into the playing position in Zone 2. Every
action adjustment moves the saddle, which can move the saddle
to a different point in Zone 2 and it can even move it out of Zone 2.
Once the action is adjusted, we should also re-intonate.
Action adjustment is great with EverTune because it is so
easy to do and can be done while the string is at full tension,
and the string will stay in tune! [To see a more in depth look

It is a good idea to loosen the tuning peg at the head stock 1
half turn before every 4 half turns of the intonation screw in the
tightening direction. Then the intonation screw will always be
easy to turn.
