cleobis Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hi, I've been using 11' strings on myvaruax, mainly or the acustics...but I'm thnking of trying 12's. I think the acoustics will benefit from that...anybody tried it before? My only concern is how the electrics sound will change...anyone has any feedback?

clay-man Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Only went up to 11's. Just make sure they can fit in the grooves of the piezo pickups. If they're not seated in, the strings that aren't will lose volume and tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psarkissian Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 When changing string gauges, make sure your local guitar tech (preferably a Line 6 authorized service center) to check and adjust the set-up (relief, action, intonation and such) afterwards. When changing gauges, the string tension also changes, and that will have an affect on the set-up. It's like that with any guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_Watt Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 The JTV69 is set up and ships with 10's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthplagis Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 i have 10-11 hybrids on my 69, just a minor tweak to set up required..... but i have my trem blocked off anyway, so that bit was not an issue.... you may need a little turn to tighten the trem claw screws, my nut is fine with the 11 lower half, no slotting needed.

cleobis Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thks for all the help...will try them soon...just today my low E piezo failed....it started to crackle a bit a couple of days ago and today it is completely dead :( ...probably have to send it ofr repair as it is still under warranty...I'm basically using the magnetic for electrics and only the simulation for acoustics and resos...
