Hi!

I'm facing weird issues with my new '63 Custom Shop.
It's got these PUs:

PICKUP NECK POSITION STRAT JC FAT 50s BRG/NK REL 0076696200
PICKUP MID POSITION STRAT JC FAT 50S MID REL 0076697200
PICKUP BRIDGE POSITION STRAT JC FAT 50s BRG/NK REL 0076696200

I've always had intonation issues, from fret 8th on.
Now, I know pickup height can affect intonation but in my case unless the PUs are practically flat on the pick guard there's no way I can get rid of intonation problems.
I've measured the pus and they're quite hot...almost insanely hot.

Any hints?

Hot like warm or hot like powerfull :shock:

1-Did you know how to do intonation ? Experienced ?

2-Is the neck scale is ok ; do some reading from nut to 12 th fret and from 12th fret to sadlle.
You'll see if scale is ok .
3- Do you have a good tuner ?
4- Truss rod is ok , neck bow is ok ?


If you can't fix intonation, something you do wrong or you forget to tell. See a qualified luthier.
