Yes, intonation at the bridge may be the issue. However, if you are
having trouble with basic chords in the first few frets, I'm willing
to bet the problem is incorrectly filed nut slots. There will always
be things that sound a little odd in equal temperament tuning - the
major 3rd for example - but there's no reason in 2015 why almost any
guitar can't be made to play in tune all over the fretboard.
A decent luthier or tech should be able to file you a new nut if
necessary, check the neck relief, bridge intonation, string action
etc. i.e. a basic set up.

I have a lead guitar part I need to record on a song I'm
tracking. We have a little problem though.
For some reason, my 3rd G string and also on some occasions my 2nd B
string keeps going out of tune. It's not a matter of retune it
though. If I do, then certain chords, like E, or G sound fine, or
A, even, but if I play a D chord, then, ewwww! Gross! the G string,
and the B string are totally flat. More so my G string. No, these
are not wound strings.
Anyway, my suspicion is that I probably have an intonation problem
going on here. I plan to take the guitar into a shop and have 'em
look at it, but in the mingtime, my question is, if I was to pop
auto-tune on that guitar track, would that make it sound worse, or
could I effectively use that and maybe get the thing more in
tune? I mean, I know it theoretically would work, but do you think
it would sound unnatural, or is it hard to say?
Is there maybe a better way until I can get this thing looked at
that I maybe could tackle this?
Chris.
