My new Mahalo sounds quite good, amazingly good for the price, but it has an intonation issue. 3 of the 4 strings are good enough for me to live with, but the E string has a serious problem all the way from the 2nd fret onwards. Of course, I can and should file the nut slots and also the saddle to lower the action, and that ought to help, but here's the rub. The saddle is split-compensated, so there is a slightly different scale length for each string. The G and A strings are near perfect at least as far as the 5th fret, but the C and E are off. What can I possibly do?
