Intonation

[rjbee]

I have heard that one of the more valid reasons for buying Epi as opposed to Gibson, aside from cost, is that Gibsons tend to be hard to intonate accurately whereas Epis seem to have a more accurate ability to be intonated precisely. Any thoughts?

In a word, and without wishing to insult anybody..... rubbish.

I've not heard that aguement before, but it is bogus.

I have to agree with "T"; I have both and I can dial the intonation of either in on the dot.

don't have a Gibby, but it makes no sense. They are the same set up, so I would say the statement is false.

Same design in terms of scale length, nut, bridge and strings. Pretty hard to get different intonation "rules" from the same design. From time to time, you'll hear stuff like this from people who have absolutely no common sense whatsoever. You also won't grow hair on the palms of your hands from playing with your guitar too much. All that crap is bogus. Unfortunately, stupidity DOES run genetically.

I think the only or at least one possible way for this to happen is if someone has a defective guitar and they make a statement that the Epi is easier to set intonation. Then again, maybe someone that has paid for the Gibby feels it should be easier or they thought they bought a Robot model.

Yeah i've got an epi and a gibson. The intonation is absolutely fine on both.
