.011's on T500?

[Jeff Haddad]

Has anybody tried a set of .011's on their GSR T500? After playing mine tonight, I feel like it's a little too floppy, I prefer a little fight in the strings. Just wondering if it made a major change to either neck relief or intonation before I restring.

Haven't tried anything heavier on mine yet.

I was considering the same, and I wouldn't expect more than a slight adjustment to be needed after the change.

I put DR .011's on my GSR Starfire and on my X-170 and they feel and play great. I too like a little heaver string. The Starfire needed only minor adjustments to play it's best.
Thanks John

Installed purple slinky's ( .011) this morning. Didn't check intonation with a tuner but it sounds good and feels good. Doesn't look like there's any difference in the neck so I'm leaving the truss rod alone. Will have to plug in later.
