Re: String Gauge Difference and Effect On Intonation
I recently put a set of flatwounds on one of my Breedloves. The results was terrible: string buzz and very poor intonation, In another thread, it was explained about a difference in tension, among other things. I determined that a new setup would solve the problems. Very, very shortly thereafter, my coffee-soaked brain also determined that replacing the new strings should also solve the problem. It did. I gave the other set of flatwounds away.
