Problem with my acoustic

The harmonic for the high E is on the 13th fret instead of the 12th. Anybody know what to do?

Is it well tuned? Is the 1st string sound the same as the 6th?

The intonation's naffed, Could be the nut or the neck in my opinion, and to be honest sounds like something you'd do well to take to a music shop or whatever who do repairs.

I've never actually played one of those, but i've always thought they looked interesting...

Sounds like an intonation problem with the bridge. Might be time to take it down to your local guitar repair person for a setup.

Alright thanks for that

Any ideas how to prevent it happening again?

I got my guitar

Looks great, but i'm still waiting on my amp

I was trying to tune it using the M13's tuner, but it doesn't seem to stay in tune for long.
Like i'll get all the string perfectly in tune (according to the markings on the tuner display)
Then if I play with it a bit or lie it on my bed and 15 minutes later put it through the tuner again some of the strings are no longer perfectly in tune (ie. where I tuned them to be 15 mins ago).

Is this normal? Do I just have to break it in or something?
Or has the shipping stuffed up the guitar? It did come all the way from Georgia USA.
I did notice when I opened the box tht one of the strings had slid out of one of the notches in the tune-o-matic bridge (I have no idea what that does, maybe I have to adjust it

). It was also badl out of tune out of the box, many strings were off by a whole tone or even more.

It's possible i'm just accidently moving the machine heads when I play or set it down, i'll have to play around with it some more and see.
