String gauge for your Yamaha acoustic
« on: July 31, 2010, 02:49:47 PM »
Mga Kafatid!

Anung string gauge gamit nyo sa Yamaha acoustic nyo? Gamit ko kasi sa APX ko 10 gauge na strings, nag buzz kasi pag medyo malakas na yung strum or pluck ko. Any advice?

Thanks!

2 cm neck relief?? sure? bali na dapat ang neck pag ganun.. neck relief refers to the neck being either underbowed or overbowed..  :-)

neck relief = curve/bow of the neck
action = how far the strings are sa frets/board

nonetheless, 2cm action? wow.. that's almost unplayable..

ayt.. no worries dude..  :-)

hmm.. sa acoustic guitar, it's bound to have a little buzz pag malakas ang strum or pluck.. anyway.. siguro professional setup lang kailangan niyan bro.. 10s is a light gauge for an acoustic, that might also be a factor..
