Hi,
my brand new JEM is factory setup for .09-.42 strings, but I prefer to play with .10-.46 (standard EADGBE tuning).
So I had my
guitar shop setup the guitar for that...
But it seems to me the setup has changed a bit, after 4 days of use. I think the Lo-Pro Edge is not well angled (if I do a full pull-up, the low-E goes up a 4th but the high-E goes up a 3rd, for instance). Worse, I think the action could have raised a bit : I mesured about 2.5mm at the 24th fret on the low-E. Could this be that I'd have to straighten the neck, or lower the bridge ?
Or am I imagining things ?
Changing the
tremolo angle myself is not a problem, but I'm not too confident about changing the action or straightening the neck, so I would have to take the guitar to the shop again (and live a night without it - unbearable)...
What do you think ? What changes in the setup should be expected when changing gauges ? What setups are independant of the gauge ? Is it usual to have to wait a few days for the guitar to stabilize and do the setup again ? Am I asking to many things at once ?
Help !
P.S. : I did a search on the site and forum but could not find answers about my problem. If I missed something, don't hesitate to point me to it...
