Default A guitar problem
The guitar is in tune until I get to the 12th fret. Any chords above this are out of tune. Any ideas?

Yip, it's called intonation.

How you fix it depends on what kind of bridge you have.

Let's see some pics!

Cool top. Is it a Schecter or something?

Anyway, easy to fix as outlined in that article. Play an open string then play a harmonic at the 12th fret. If it is flat, you need to move it towards the neck, opposite for sharp.

See how you get on, any problems I'll do it for you.

Cool, thanks Dusty, I will give that a try.

PS, it is a Shine guitar.

Never heard of them, looks nice though, kind of a mix between Fender (body/neck/scale) and Gibson (pups/bridge).

I only found about intonation after a live recording session when I was 15/16. Its a v. easy thing to do once you have done it a few times.
