Intonating pinky

There are 2 reasons why re-intonation was done for my Fender Pink Paisley tele:

1. Bridge saddles were swapped out.
2. I decided to fix a set of .0095 in there as opposed to the default .009

Intonation refers to the tuning correspondence at both the 12th fret & open strumming, please do not confuse this with a regular tuning exercise. Why should this be the case? If you have any bridge saddle movements (to/fro), it would mean that the distance between the 12th fret & the saddles was disrupted, even slight changes necessitate an intonation check.

For the sake of accuracy, a plug-in tuner is preferred. As depicted above, my Korg Blackout was in use. The standard is not exactly strobe-type but it offers a wider tuning division compared to a clip-on tuner. Not all plug in tuners offer a wider degree of accuracy compared to their clip-on counterparts, we need to scrutinize what each manufacturer has to offer. In the case of Korg, its Blackout range indicates tuning changes both in division markings & colour indicators. This is the standard you should employ when dealing with small distance increments when adjusting bridge saddles. Majority of the clip-ons are unable to detect minor changes because they interpret tuning through material vibration transfer, unlike the direct signals from the strings. 

Intonation activity could take a while, depending on the bridge saddles you are dealing with. More often than than not, the one-string-per-saddle case is a more enjoyable process. The 2-strings-per-saddle cases such as the vintage/ traditional Telecaster bridges for instance, is a more painful episode. A movement to address one string intonation issue affects the other because they are both sitting on the same saddle. If a tech charges you quite a bit for intonation adjustments, you should understand the situation.
