How To Setup The Intonation On A Faber Bridge

Setting the Intonation on a Faber Bridge

Now that you’ve chosen your new Faber bridge to upgrade your guitar with, you need to set the intonation. Faber guitar bridges are fully intonatable. Our ABHR, ABRN, ABRM and Tone-Lock™ bridges all intonate in the same way.

All you will need to work through this process is an electronic tuner and a small flat blade screwdriver that will fit into the screw heads of the bridges & guitar saddle screws adjustment screws.

• Restring your guitar with the string gauge of your choosing.
• Tune up to your desired pitch. It is recommended that you always check your intonation, and adjust if needed, each time you change tuning or string gauge.
• Once the guitar has been tuned to your desired pitch, stretch your strings so that they hold tune correctly.
• To check the intonation, using your electronic tuner compare the pitch of the open string against the fretted 12th fret and the 12th fret harmonic on your Low E string. If the pitch of the 12th fret is sharp compared to the open string you will need to add some length to the string. This is achieved by loosening the saddle adjustment screw to move the saddle further away from the nut. Due to the increase in pressure at the back of the bridge, your strings pitch will go sharp. Retune and check the intonation again.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic. In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class.
