Members stormin1155 Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 Perhaps. When you put your new strings on, run them through the slots a couple times. If they feel sticky they may need some work. Use pencil lead or chapstick for lube if they seem otherwise OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members webwarmiller Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 All depends on how big the slots are currently. Chances are you'll be OK. You will most likely have to tighten the truss 1/8-1/4 a turn to compensate for the increased tension from the 11's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrockbridge Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 ^ As already posted...most likely, you'll need to tighten the truss rod a small amount to counter the extra tension on the neck. Or, you could tune down a half step. Take measurements before the string change. That way, you'll know par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Davo17 Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 I never need em slotted. I also like 11's much more then 10's and 10.5's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blazingblake Posted May 21, 2009 Members Share Posted May 21, 2009 I like 11's on gibson scale guitars, fat tone on chords leads sound fine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
