									Joined: 22 Feb 2010 United States   Karma   | Yeah I just got my les paul back from a minor headstock repair and got it all setup with a new pair of flatwounds. I went from .009 to these heavy .011 flatwounds and Im getting some buzz around the 12th fret. Since I just got it setup, Im wondering if the change in gauge was so much that the neck is adjusting to the tension. Is it my pick attack. Sometimes I have an aggressive attack. Should I raise my bridge or adjust the truss rod???
 
 ...Or should I just tone down my attack???

Which it does, but I still like the bite I get from round-wounds. Once these flats are on their way out, I'll probably go back to round-wounds. 
 I got DAdarrio Chromes .011-.050
 
 Does anybody have halfwounds???
