Changing string gauge, what do I need?

[larssonn]

Hi y'all!
So I'm going to put 17-74 gauge strings in my LP.
What do I have to do? They fit the tuners, but what about truss rod adjustment and nut?

Best regards!

It really depends, what string gauge do you have now?

You'll have to do a proper setup because the strings are going to be thicker than standard. Basically raising the bridge, adjusting intonation, a new nut would be highly useful. Look up some tutorials on setting up a guitar, it's easier than you might think, just takes a bit of patience.
