I'm still trying to improve the intonation on my Kala Tenor Guitar (KA-GTR). It's a short scale Tenor Guitar (4 Strings) designed for steel strings. Scale length is 21 3/8 or 21.5".
I want to use Chicago Tuning, i.e. like a Baritone, or like the top four strings of a Guitar (D3-G3-B3-E4). I have tried D'Addario EJ10 and EJ24. With both sets, intonation was sharp at string 1 and even more so at string 2.
Any tips on what steel string set to use for DGBE-Tuning? Or can you suggest an online resource for calculating which strings would intonate fine with this tuning and at that scale length?
Thanks!
