Tune the guitar up. Hit the 12th fret harmonic on the E string and tune it, then press the 12th fret, if the Fretted note is Flat move the saddle Forward. If it's sharp move it back. Do that to all the strings with the guitar on your leg in playing position, don't lay it on a bench it can give you a bad reading. The B string is tricky, if you intonate it perfectly bar chords usually sound a little out of tune, intonate it till the fretted note is slightly flat.
It also depends on how hard you play with your left hand, the harder you press the sharper the note is. It also helps if the neck is adjusted properly and the action is set good. High action usualy makes intonating very hard.
This is the good stuff, I worked for years with a guy who worked at Kramer and teched for Eddie, Ygnwie, Springsteen and Maiden. I actually worked on Maidens guitars for the Powerslave tour. I have set up thousands of guitars!  | Good info  Get the book and do the neck adjustments first(if really needed). It's not hard, just have to follow a process somewhat. Get a feeler gauge/allen wrench and you're good to go.
