Just picked up a LP Tribute and it needs some slight adjustments. This is my first Les Paul as most my guitars are tremolo style. Welcome all your suggestions for getting optimal playability. First of all , I prefer the action to be as low as possible without buzzing. The guitar feels great overall but the strings do feel stiffer than I'm used to. I believe 10's are on and I usually do hybrid 9 - 46. The high E/B strings are harder to bend. I understood short scale guitars to have less tension/ therefore easier to bend and such. Perhaps I'm wrong on this. When I'm bending these two strings it feels like it drags on the fretboard and bunching up into the adjacent string if that makes sense. Not sure if i need to adjust the treble side of the bridge to mitigate this or perhaps take a closer look at the nut slots on those two strings...or both. I have yet to take some measurements for the action.
Another question relates to how people are wrapping their strings over the stop tail piece. Is the purpose of this to ease the tension and break angle over the bridge saddles?...
Thanks in advance.
