Brand new G&L owner here, I recently purchased the G&l Fallout tribute, and I love it. It's my first electric guitar, however I was thinking of having it set up? or possibly doing it myself, since I noticed some slight fret buzz and the actions a little tough on my hands.
I had the guitar shipped to me, so I don't know if that had any affect. Initially, I raised the action on the top 2 strings and that canceled out most of the fret buzz, but I kinda wanted low action, it seems sort of tough on my fingers at the moment, but I don't want to lower it too much because then I can hear a lot of fret buzz.
So I wanted to see what I could do? The neck looks pretty straight so I'm not certain it could be the truss rod, and also I'm not that experienced with adjusting a truss rod and I don't want to do it unless I'm certain that's the issue. Same with filing down anything.
It also still has the strings from the factory which I think are either 9/10's. I usually like heavier gauges so I bought some 11/48's, but I have yet to change them. Could that be an issue as well?
Thanks!
