Having some problems with lp

harkonnen8 · 02-28-2008, 01:39 AM

why should string set 13-56 feel too loose on my lp. Could it be truss rod related?Tuning - DGCFAD

Well, Les Pauls are short scale, and you're tuned down a full step.
That's pretty heavy gauges though...

and for a bonus i have enormous fret buzz

Apophis · 02-28-2008, 08:13 AM

highs are ok and tight, but take bigger gauges at bottom, and everything will be ok

harkonnen8 · 02-28-2008, 11:00 AM

and what about that annoying fret buzz?

Crucified · 02-28-2008, 11:09 AM

take it a professional and have them set the guitar up.

budda · 02-28-2008, 02:26 PM

yeah, i'd get it set up.

i haev 10-52 on my LP in standard, it's not lose. i have gone to drop C and the strings started feeling a little bit wimpy.. but 13-56? you should be fine

I thought those were pretty heavy gauges already, but I have wussy fingers.

+1 on the pro setup, I have 13-56's in drop A on my Dean V, and while a little flappy they're holding up ok...sounds like something is up with the axe
