Overhead salinisation and capo

While I was doing the oversaddle intonation, I realized that the first intonation of the grip board notes against the stable leg (taken note at 3rd and 12th bands) differs very much from the traditional open string intro and taken note at 12th. Realize now that the traditional method only blurs out the intonation problems that come from the over saddle and open / taken notes more or less evenly across the board. In the case of an oversaddle compensation, the majority of the problems in the oversaddle are rectified and the notes taken separately are annotated at the stable leg.

The summary is that the guitar fits better after an oversaddle toning even if you use the capo (and disconnect the upper saddle) as the grip board is better intoned at the stable leg.
