I have just bought an Epiphone and no matter how much I move the saddle for the 6th string back or forward, the harmonic never quite sounds the same as the 12th fret note.
The best position is as far back as it will go - it sounds like it wants to a bit further back if anything.
Any ideas much app

Actually - it is your problem to fix intonation problems in an instrument you own. The simple act of taking off strings, and putting new ones on can drastically change the tone. (Think about it: 5+ tons of pressure on and off, etc.)

Find a good guitar repair shop - a good guitar technician should be able to solve your problem, or tell you if the instument has major problems.

I wonder if Willy Nelson's guitar has perfectly intoned harmonics??


Good luck
