So was wanting to know if anyone has any setup suggestions or tips regarding my LP Special? It's in 1/2 step E tuning 10-46 gauge strings, factory Gibson saddles swapped out with Graphtec graphite string saver saddles pre-notched, factory Gibson 300k pots changed out to Gibson 500k pots, Dimarzio super distortion p90 in the bridge and factory Gibson p100 pickup in the neck.
Before I bought the Graphtec saddles I had it tuned to drop B with the ghs zakk wylde set 10-60's but it just didn't sound right, not enough clarity, oomph, chugs, etc so after I bought the Graphtec string saver saddles to replace the original factory ones I had my tech install them and set it back up to half step E tuning but it still didn't sound right, I think for one he set the action too low or something because the guitar just sounded really twangy, I have a pretty heavy right hand attack but even when I lightened up my attack trying to play Metallica for example it still sounded all twangy and not full sounding and this was plugged into my Mesa Tremoverb or my Peavey 6505+ head??!!
