Hi guys, This is my situation.
I own two high end Ibanez guitars (one custom shop LA and another RG3271)
Both have fixed bridge.
Since I went to 11's-52'2 (D tuning) the intonation came very crappy. And I think I discovered the problem.
These guitars weren't made for this gauge, since the nut holes are in a kind of "V" shape, therefore, thicker strings will be higher in the nut , so when fretting notes they will be very unstable in pitch (if you press harder the note goes sharp)
This doesnt happen in my floydrose ibanez.
So, what kind of nuts do you recommend for using this gauge? Brand, material, model, etc?
Thanks
