hollywoodrox Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi I just got myself an epiphone hummingbird ltd in natural, it originaly came with 12 gauge strings but previous owner changed to 10 s he didnt have a set up , im wanting to put new strings on, it seems to play ok and intonation seems ok, do you think I should put new 10s on or go back to 12s ? My setup guy is outta town and after xmas im a bit stretched cashwise, if I change the strings I will do them one at a time so it is not a sudden change on neck tension.

RhysP Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 There's not a lot can be done with the set up on an acoustic - truss rod adjustment & sanding or raising the saddle is about it - anything else will require fret work and/or a neck reset which in my book doesn't come under "home set-up" &, in my opinion, wouldn't be worth the cost on an inexpensive instrument. Why not split the difference, put a set of 11s on & see how it responds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
