Hi guys, Just bought the Ibanez RG2228, so far I'm loving it, and going from six strings to 8 strings was a huge leap for me.
I thought I might as well join sevenstring.org, lots of info here! Happy to join the party, and I hope that I get to know some of you guys![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Anyhoo, about the guitar:
A big disappointment is the F# string, It's sloppy and I really don't like it. It sounds muddy and floppy! It needs to sound more clear and tight.
Searching the net for some info on a string set for the RG2228 wasn't much to find. From what I can understand I have a 0.10 set on my guitar, leaving the F# to a 0.70?
I've read somewhere that it's recommended to get a bigger gauge F# string, something like 0.75-0.85
I really don't want to mess up anything, so I wanted to know what you guys are using? Can I use a 0.10-0.11 set but leaving the F# to a bigger gauge string?
I also heard that I need to drill the hole bigger on my F# machine head, to be able to fit a bigger gauge string. is that true?
