I always thought it was because I didnt have the right amp, or didnt know how to set the tone. Now I realize it was the intonation that was making it sound off. The easiest way to check is with a tuner. If the harmonic on the 12th fret of each string is sharp or flat compared to the the open note, the intonation could be off.
