I recently got my MD-315 set up because the action at the nut was FAR too high (to the point where I was really badly hurting my finger). I'm happy to say that's no longer an issue, but am fairly disappointed with the setup: The bridge may be a bit too low now (a bit of buzzing on the G string), the bridge intonation seems to have been way off, and the G string is slightly sharp at the first few frets (but actually a bit flat higher up). I have two questions:
- Is it possible my G string nut slots are too high? (see picture below, not sure if it's a good enough picture to tell). I've half a mind to learn how to do this adjustment myself if I need to...
- I have a general sense for how to adjust intonation at the bridge, but it's a really annoying process - I have to loosen the strings a lot to move the bridge at all, but I have to re-tighten them to check the intonation, which takes a long time and I feel like puts a lot of strain on the strings. Do you have any tips for speedy bridge intonation adjustments?
