Compensation on nylon string guitars
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2021 2:26 pm
I am about to start on a hybrid guitar. An OM with a cutaway, slotted head stock, V-class bracing and nylon strings. Most of it I've figured out, but I am in doubt about the saddle compensation.
The Spanish guitars I've played have no compensation on the saddle, but are without exception sharp on the 12th fret on the low strings. I tend to use some sort of compensation, but how much?
Anyone has an idea? John?
