New string set and higher gauge low b , truss adjustment?

777 · 08-25-2006, 06:06 PM

ok originally i think my 1527 came with 9-42 with a .54 on the low b(d'addario)
i then set it up with a d'addario 9-42 +.52 on the low b and got the bridge in perfect alignment

so now i hate how floppy the low b is so i got a .56 gauge along with a GHS boomer 9's and was wondering as well as hacving to reset up the bridge+intonation will i have to adjust the truss for the thicker 56????

thanks

probably just the intonation i would guess, the truss should be fine

if 56 is too floppy for you then you should try the gauge set I'm using.

9, 12, 16, 24, 32, 44, 60 they are a bit more expensive but you can make your own set of gauges. www.juststrings.com I paid 13.25 shipped for this set and I love it!

just need intonation adjustment. Trussrod is only if the neck is all fuckered up.

Ibanez are pretty damn on the spot with intonation. The adjustment should be slight. You may want to try adding a shim under the locking nut. If the strings are too floppy you may want to loosen the truss rod just a little ( like a 1/4 of a turn ) this will put some tension on the strings thus tightening up your flopping issue.
