I have been trying to set up my electric guitar,but i'm having issues with intonation. If i set the intonation so the open and 12th fret are in tune, the 12th harmonic is slightly flat, if i set so open string and 12th harmonic are in tune the 12th fret is slightly sharp. i can't get them all to be in tune at the same time. Please help.

This works best with fresh strings. How old are the strings on your guitar?

Are you tuning by ear or with an electronic tuner ?

If I claim to be a wise man , it surely means that I don't know .
