there are several factors to consider when doing intonations.

- fretting strength : when checking intonation, fret the string as light as possible. a slight extra pressure will definitely make it a bit sharp.

- floyd-rose : this is not an unknown issue by many that FR system may have problem with higher fret intonation

- action : uneven action on the guitar may screw your intonation.

- fresh string : fresh strings are easier to intonate with


missing by a few percentage is acceptable since you probably won't notice the difference. missing by almost half of a flat/sharp is bad.

adjust it slowly. but remember to retune the guitar completely before each check-up.

add-on:

after reading your post again i realized something, did you do any adjustment? you have to adjust the bridge saddles to compensate your intonation. if the fretted note is flat, move the saddle forward. if it's sharp, move it backward.
