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!
Changing string gauge, what do I need?

Re: Changing string gauge, what do I need?
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.
