Hi Guys, I picked up a 594 on Saturday. (Love the guitar by the way, it does sound like a reissue LP, maybe more controlled in the bass.)
The guitar came string with 10-46 which I’ll want to swap to 10-48. The low open E and A just go sharp with my heavier attack, so a thicker gauge tends to keep the lows tight and solid.
I’ve noticed that the G string is ‘pinging’ in the nut and de-tuning sharp when I play it for a few mins. Have to keep retuning it flat and back up. Has anyone had this issue?
I’ve put a bit of 2000 grit paper in the slot with some 3 in 1 oil to loosen the slot, also added pencil graphite. So far so good.
Does anyone know - Will I need to widen the slots on the bone nut to go up a gauge?
