Hi, my first post. Seeking some help…
I recently put heavier gauge strings (11-64) on my Ibanez 7 string. Originally had 10-59 on it.
I made necessary truss rod adjustment, string action and intonation. But I get the buzz when played open or 1st and 2nd fret on the low B string.
Couple of things I tried: two small pieces of paper in the nut between nut and string. Thinking maybe the nut cut too low.
Also raised the action at the bridge from 2.4mm to 3mm. It’s quite high for comfort and I prefer it lower.
The buzz is much better but still occurs occasionally. I play pretty hard with my right hand but I never had this issue with the light gauge. Bit perplexed? Any thoughts on what I’ve tried and what I should do or could do?
Cheers
