I can suggest two things to look at to resolve intonation issues. First, have a look at the nut. Do the strings lay in the grooves properly? It could be that the top of the nut is curved or that the grooves are not cut properly, so that some or all of the strings don't lay in the groove right up to the edge of the nut. The other thing is to experiment with bridge placement. The theory is that the distance nut to 12th fret and 12th fret to bridge are the same, but that doesn't always work in practice. You might also find that angling the bridge helps intonation as well.
Let us know how it goes. Doc I was going to play another piece by Ritter, a Rondeau. But in the minor section it has an E flat arpeggio above the fifth position and I just can't get my guittar in tune up there. Perhaps my guittar is particularly poorly fretted. Those guittars with capo holes must have be well fretted. I suspect the Geminiani pieces would be unplayable on my guittar (which may not be untypical).
