Quick question on intonation

[paleolith54]

I play a half-step down on one Anderson. Should I intonate at standard pitch then tune down to play, or tune down and intonate? Or, perhaps it doesn't matter?

Thanks!

if you're going to stay at the lower pitch i would do it at that pitch. the lower tension of the strings will affect intonation a bit. it may not be enough to bother you, but it's easy enough to check.

Thanks, Tom.

BTW, I can't thank you and the guys in the shop enough for fixing the Crowdster, even though it was clear pretty early on that the problem was a third party's repair, not the guitar itself. It plays perfectly.
