An instructional video would be helpful just so you can see someone do it, but simply put, to set it you need to adjust the saddle position accordingly until the open string and 12th fret octave are dead on with your tuner. You're shortening/lengthening the string until it aligns properly for the string gauge/scale-length. See whether the 12th fret note is sharp or flat, the adjust the saddle accordingly.
Just remember when you're moving the saddles, moving them closer to the neck makes the note go sharp, moving it away, flat.

Something I learned in the late 70s was a piece of info from the Tom Wheeler guitar book. He said to fret the note at the 12th fret, and hit a harmonic on the string at the 12th fret, adjusting the bridge saddle until they are identical. Just my 2 cents. Always worked for me.

Thanks, indeedido!

Good to have you back HR

I find myself forgetting how to set intonation from time to time, and the visual reference is always the best in taking confusion out.

I find I have to look on this certain page of Tom Wheeler's Guitar Book. My dad bought it for me on my 17th birthday I think. 2nd Edition from the early 70s, lol. Has lotsa pics of primitive gear from the 60s, lol.
