Hi,
I have bought a beautiful Koaloha long neck concert from a forum member and got it setup by a luthier here in Montreal with a nice and low action both at the nut and saddle.
The strings fitted are Oasis Warm High G fluorocarbon. The intonation is pretty spot on up to the 7th fret but slightly sharp on the 12th fret compared with its harmonic (most evident on the E string). The luthier has proposed to build a compensated saddle to correct the intonation. Thing is, I might try other strings and read from this forum that intonation may change based on string selection.
So here is my question: what type of string (brand and size) do you think I should try instead of the Oasis that would help to correct the slight sharpness on the intonation?
Thanks for your input.
