Intonation for high E string still sharp at 12th fret with saddle all the way back

It may be worth writing a short email without complaining or attacking to the string manufacture just to give them a heads up with the SKU/batch number of the strings. Companies love loyal customers and they would probably send you a set or more. You would be surprised, I've had guitar manufactures send me bridges, cases, merch, just by kindly informing them of an issue while letting them know I enjoy their product.

Thats a good idea, unfortunately I didn't keep the wrapper with the SKU or batch number on it, I noticed a few days after I put them on the intonation issue.
I will try and email them anyway and see what happens, thank you for suggesting this.

Hello everyone, today I was playing and noticed things didn't sound right higher up the neck, so checked my intonation. Every other string was bang on from when I set it up but the high E string was really sharp at the 12th fret, about 40 cents.

I have moved the saddle back all the way, but am still showing the open E string in tune but the 12th fret is sharp by 26 cents.

The 12th fret harmonic is also off of the open string by around 12 cents sharp.

As I have moved the saddle all the way back, what can I do?

I am quite puzzled why this has happened as I set the guitar up previously and did the intonation, and for the high E string to be correct the saddle was nearly all the way forward, but now is really out.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re start the process.

Run the saddle back up all the way back out a couple turns. Start checking it there. Check 1 turn at a time you've most likely ran it back too far and just need to start from the far forward position.

Works for me ?
