It's easy. Make sure you're truss rod adjustments are made first and the neck is left alone overnight in case you've overadjusted and the neck hasn't settled yet (bent completely). You should move in 8th of a full rotation turns and check it. Doesn't take much. Back to intonation...get a tuner ready because it's very accurate. Tune the E string. Make sure the 12th fret harmonic is registering that it's indeed in tune. Now press down on the 12th fret and see if the tuner is saying it's sharp or flat. If it's sharp you'll need to move the saddle piece towards the back of the bridge (right on a right handed guitar). If it's flat, move the saddle piece towards the neck. You may need to loosen the string alot (until it flaps very loosely) before you move the saddle piece so you don't strip the the threads in the saddle piece. I've stripped them before and they suck to try to find replacements. So to be safe just loosen the string. Retune and repeat until the 12th fret is in perfect tune. Do this with all the other strings.
Good luck - Matt
