Re: TI 12’ers Alert
Already picked some up!
Re: TI 12’ers Alert
They're available now already at Sweetwater. I got some a few weeks ago.
Re: TI 12’ers Alert
Question : If I switch from RIC strings to these, do I need to tweak the truss rod or are they a drop-in replacement ? Thanks all.
Re: TI 12’ers Alert
Yes, in all likelihood you will need a truss-rod adjustment with the switch from RIC to TI flat wound strings.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Re: TI 12’ers Alert
I guess the question is, is it dangerous for the guitar to put on the TIs without adjusting the truss rod, or is it more a matter of playability ?
Re: TI 12’ers Alert
Definitely more of a matter of playability.
Even if you do end up having to make an adjustment, it'll be a subtle one either way.

Thankful to be included

My '98 Ric 330/12 came with a pack of these in the case, I haven't dared change the strings yet and i'm not sure if flatwounds are the sound I want, but more importantly - are they safe for the R tailpiece? I'm terrified of tailpiece explosions!
