Saddle Up Your Telecaster® - By Jerry Donahue - Seymour Duncan Tech Tips. We asked "Bendmaster of the Telecaster" Jerry Donahue to share some of his secrets for setting up a Telecaster® bridge and keeping it properly intonated (Jerry demonstrates this technique in his clinics). Attention all current and would-be Tele® slingers! You needn't resort to six individual bridge saddles to improve your intonation. The original Broadcaster design called for three brass saddles: and that's still the best design today.
The larger saddles mean more mass, providing greater output, sustain and tone. Also, with two strings per saddle, you have twice the string pressure against the body! Now, on to intonation: Until fairly recently, I felt that a guitar couldn't really play in tune unless each string's 12th fret harmonic and 12th fret note had the exact same reading on the electric tuner. Here's another for instance: An "A" chord barred at the fifth fret sounds fine. Remember, life is about compromise. Basic Guitar Setup. Electric guitar: The typical adjustment is done with either thumb wheels, slotted screws, or allen screws on either side of the bridge or at the individual strings/saddles. Refer to your manufactures guide for details on type of adjustment and which way lowers or raises the bridge then use the following instructions that fit your type of guitar.
Bridge end adjustments: As a starting point adjust each side of the bridge to the recommended heights. Individual string/saddle adjustments: Adjust the three bass strings to the "low E" recommended height and the three treble strings to the "high e" recommended height. Both types of adjustments: First attempt to just use the bridge end adjustments since the other strings will follow and maintain the neck profile. Finish: After getting them to the desired height, fret each string one fret at a time at every fret and pick it moderately and listen for any buzzing.

Mac OS X invulnerability to malware is a myth, says security firm. Mac users can expect more OS X botnets, drive-by downloads, and mass malware from here on out. That's according to security researchers from Kaspersky Lab, who said during a press conference on Thursday morning that anti-malware software is now a necessity for Mac users, and that "Mac OS X invulnerability is a myth. " The firm acknowledged that malware for the Mac has existed for years but only recently started gaining more momentum thanks to a critical increase in Mac market share. In the case of Flashback (also known as Flashfake), the malware morphed from a socially engineered installation app to an attack that targeted an unpatched Java vulnerability.
So far, it has been used to hijack search results—a technique often used in click fraud scams—but the attackers have the ability to employ the malware tactic of their choice on a machine at any time as long as it remains infected. "Market share brings attacker motivation," the firm told members of the press in its presentation.
