I have a cheapo electric guitar laying around, which I'd like to just play with and mess around and "experiment" with it and my amp. My accoustic creates feedback so thats out of the question. So this electric guitar is unstrung, and I've taken it apart. As far as I know the saddle is not tunned. How do I tune it? I've heard you can use electric guitar tunner to do it. Am I correct? Well even if I'm not, any tips or guides on how to tune it would be appriciated.

I know taking it to the shop is the easy way but I'd like to learn to be honest hence why I havnt yet. But if I have to then I have to.

It sounds like you're talking about setting intonation. Yes, it's done with a tuner - the more accurate the tuner, the more accurate the results. If you Google "guitar intonation" or something similar, you should come up with plenty of tips and how-to information to help you out. It's really pretty simple.

Note that "intonation" is not the same as "tuning", per se. A very simple explanation would be that "tuning" is what will make your guitar sound right when you play notes/chords...."intonation" is what will make those notes sound the same up and down the neck (i.e. not flat or sharp in different locations on the neck.) If your guitar is in tune, your open strings will be E-A-D-G-B-E.....if your intonation is set correctly, an 'E' at the 12th fret will still register on your tuner as an 'E' - not Eb or E#.
