Ernie Ball John Petrucci music man thicker string gauge set up help?
My music man has old strings they need new ones but my frets already buzz a bit at the top of the neck and i want to put thicker strings on like 11. I want to know some of the crucial steps to make my music man get a perfect set up. Wondering if i need intonation, maybe pickup height for action adjustment or a micro tilt adjustment
I'm not sure about the bridge type on that one ( i should look at that G3 video i have, LOL!). Anytime you change string gauges you should re-intonate. If your pickups are up too high , they might be pulling the strings closer to frets to make them buzz when played , but they'd have to be real high to do that. I think i'd raise the overall action just a hair to give you more room and maybe take some buzz out. When you say "Top" of the neck - do you mean at the body , or at the headstock? Either way , there's a possibility of a neck / truss rod issue, meaning you may need a truss rod adjustment - If you are new to that, you should have someone else do it. Maybe a local shop can do a quick setup for cheap anyway , check that option out.
