I do it empirically with the Stewmac Intonator and an accurate electronic tuner.

You can also use small pieces of nails but they tend to shift position under string tension.

Hello,

I wonder if the SM Intonator is suitable for different string spacings.

Thank you for the info

P.D. I’m a Spanish amateur luthier new in this forum and I haven’t been able to found the place to introduce myself, sorry [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

The Intonator is somewhat flexible and should accommodate most string spacings. However, it appears to only be useable on bridges with bridge pins. I do not think it would work on a classical guitar bridge.

My interest is to use it in acoustic guitar bridges. Thank you!
