So what does the re-setup involve exactly? No messing with the neck relief, just maybe filing out the nut a bit and adjusting the action&intonation...? :idk:
all I had to do was raise the action some and adjust my intonation. Depending on what strings you have on it before, you might need to do some truss rod adjustment.

I guess I'd want to try if .11's would work. If not I'd go one gauge heavier, but beyond that it'd feel too much like a bariton imo, too different from the other guitar I normally play :idk:

Fwiw: It's looking like the guitar in question will either be a Tokai ES60 or an ES330, depending on my pedal sale and the reaction to my low ball bid for the 330 :facepalm:
