UncleBS Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I have been playing for about 15 years, and finally got the chance to treat myself with a new acoustic. I read a lot of reviews on this model, and I must say, I absolutely love it! I played several models, and brands. I tune down 1/2 step, and play a lot in drop D. It has a very rich tone to it. I am very impressed at the sound for the price. My question is, would a professional setup for the lower tuning be a good idea? I use .13 gauge strings, which I think are a little heavier than what came on it. I would say my playing level is intermediate, but the sound of my new AJ 220s has made me fall in love with playing all over again. If i could get rid of some frett buzz when tuning down, Id love it even more. Any advice would be helpfull. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIX Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hello UncleBS, I know what you mean. I have an AJ200s and just love the balance tone of the guitar. Anyway if you have fret buzzing, then you need to have a setup done on the guitar. Or at least have the truss bar adjusted to a accommodate the heavier strings. It could also be a high fret and a guitar tech would be able to address that during the setup. Hope that helps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
