Guitar String Order
Guitar String Order

guitar(electric) setup order- intonation or string height adjustment first?
hi
i've got a squier strat and am setting it up myself. i'm not sure if it matters, but should there be any order of doing things when setting it up? ive already adjusted the truss rod and spring tension(i actually put in all 5 trem springs and screwed in the claw as much as i could...not planning on using the trem anymore)
Now I'm wondering if there should be any order in which i continue ie. should i adjust string height first or set the intonation first?
it probably doesnt matter a TON... but the way I understand it is adjusting the string height (via saddles) changes the distance between the bridge and nut by a minute amount (making them higher increases tension and increases string length by a millimeter or so, opposite when you go down), therefore changing the intonation. so it would make sense to adjust height, then intonation so that you dont throw one off when adjusting the other.
