STARTER MESSAGE

Hey guys, how are you?

Okay - So I've had my Flaxwood for about 6 months or so(Love it!), I got it used on ebay. When I got it, it was fine but it was set up with 9's, and I really don't like 9's much. What I'm really wondering is if someone could tell me how I can get a hold on some thicker springs that will support a set of 10-46 gauge strings.

Thanks again everyone :)

Hello Tim! Welcome to the forum and congratulations to your Flaxwood guitar!

I checked with Schaller a while ago about setting up the LP tremolo with 11+ gauge strings. Schaller does not offer stronger springs, but the system supports 10 gauge strings, and I think the Flaxwood guitars are usually shipped with those. 11s might be possible, as well, for stronger strings (I prefer 12-54) you would either have to get custom made springs or go for a stoptail bridge.

Enjoy the guitar!
