I was using a set of 10's on this guitar and all was fine. Then I tried putting a set of 8's on my guitar but when I intonated it the low E and A strings do not have enough room to move the saddles back to intonate; i,e, they are sharp when you fret the 12 frets. Any tricks to resolve this?

Hi there, There are a lot of variables as to why your guitar may not be intonating. Make sure your nut slots are filed for the string gauge you're using. Did you set your neck relief and action before trying to get the intonation set. If you still have questions, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll help you out.
