Hi there!
I have recently acquired a Core SC245 (proper NGD post to come!) but after setting it up with my preferred string brand and gauge (Elixir Nanowebs) I can't seem to get it to where my SE Zach Myers is...
The ZM comes with the adjustable wrap around bridge, the SC245 comes with the two-part tailpiece and bridge, so not sure if that's something that could be affecting, although I would doubt it. Other than that they're pretty much the same. Pattern/Wide Fat necks, 24.5" scale.
Relief is pretty much the same on both, and string height is at around 1.2mm at the 12th fret on the high E for both, but action seems more "balanced" on the ZM than on the SC245, where action seems a bit higher towards the end of the fretboard, and I think that's what's putting me off. Both tuned to E standard btw.
What would you guys recommend me to check/do next? I'm a bit concerned that I can't get a $2500 Made in USA guitar to the same level of playability as a $700 MIK one
Thanks in advance for all your help!
