okay guys, one problem. The guy that I bought the guitar from(my new Ibanez) told me that he had been using 9 guage strings and tuning down a full step(motley crue tribute band), which he believes may have caused the neck to become too straight. I have tuned up to Eb since I got it and was wondering if this would create enough pressure to bow the neck a little bit. Or will I have to take it in to get it adjusted, and how much might it cost? And does anyone have any prices for an intonation adjustment for a floyd rose trem system?

thanks
Case

sweet, thanks bro, I just needed some prices. Kinda broke :(
BTW I saw that vid you posted on here for something with a contest or something, you had just gotten your new LP and you were playing out of a Line6, was that for a website or something? I'd like to get more pointers on certain things as well as get my face out there

np, some shops r cheap some expensive, if u bought a guitar from a shop somtimes u can get them to give free setups especially if it was expensive. i got like 400 off my lp and free setups along with anything tht goes wrong i get for free. people will do extra stuff in hard times.
