Kedhrin Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I just got my Variax and i'm loving it but i definitely like the guitar tech i usually go to for my guitars set it up for me. Is there anything special they need to keep min mind when setting it up, especially with the Floyd Rose on it? Also, has anyone else been experiencing serious issues with finger tapping? I haven't updated the guitar or anything, so i'm not sure if that will fix it, but i'm tapping anything above the 12th fret the tapping just doesn't register. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tapping issue does seem odd, however...haven't seen that particular complaint before. Tapping is not a huge part of my sersenal, but I've never had an issue with in on the JTV.

Kedhrin Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 yeah for some reason its only if i'm like, holding 12th fret and tapping like 17th/19th/20th they go away. If i'm holding something like, 7th and tapping 14th/16th its fine. its only when i go really high. I hope there isn't anything wrong with getting thick gauge strings then? I just don't know how much of the variax is hardware dependent on the actual guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftzilla Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I do a lot of tapping and I have never had that problem on either of my variax's (59 and 89F), Heavier guage should interface with the piezo's a little better but I use 10s on mine with no issues.
