Will those inaccuracies require an expert to correct them though?

No....they are inaccuracies that change when you mix new strings with old strings. The new strings have more life than teh onld strings, so the tone may sound different. If you are jus beginning, you probably wouldn't be able to notice.[/quote]

The inaccuracies are as I said minor and if you' re only just beginning they won' t bother you as much as an experienced player. They come from mixing gauges. Also real old strings (like six months old 😉)can get a little harder to tune accurate than newer strings.

It doesn´t take an expert to compensate for these inaccuracies though. Just someone with a guitar tuner and a screwdriver plus a little know-how.

  1. Play the open A string and tune it.
    Fret the A string in the 12th position. If the fretted note is flat than the distance between saddle and 12th is too long. Shorten it by turning the saddle screw to the left. If it´s sharp tune it to the right. Little steps at a time.
    Tune the open string again and repeat procedure from 1 until the fretted note is accurate.
Repeat same procedure on all strings.

Like a couple of other people said, I agree that you first learn to tune the guitar yourself. It will be more fun when you can.

There is so much more to tell you about this, but I suggest you step over to a music/guitar forum if you still insist on more information. Google a little. I found out about PCs that way.

Rock on!
