Arnie Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I purchased an ES-175 this past summer and I really like it. I noticed the stock strings seemed a bit heavy, I'm a rather new player so I changed them out and put 10's on it. It seems like it plays fine, but I'm concerned that this guitar should have had 11's on it. Do you think I may have screwed the setup on it?

Versatile Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Not necessarily I've done the same in the past They generally start with 13's If it's not buzzing it's OK Watch out for the bridge moving with 10's V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been thinking about some jazzbox or other--this'd be good to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnie Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 Ok, thanks for the info. I thought that maybe they were 11's, I had no idea they were 13's... :o In the worst case; I would just take it to a Guitar tech and get it set up again, right?
