[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]I've just switched to chromes 105-45 because I prefer the sound of those to the rounds I was using. But the higher tension is making my fretting hand ache.[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]My action is still identical to before (about 2mm at the 12th) and relief is the same (about half a mm) so there can't be that much more tension. I tried lowering the action but any lower and I can't play above the 15th fret due to choking. Can't get my neck dead straight no matter what I do.[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Is the extra tension and aching all in my head, or is it something that I'll get used to?[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]They sound so good that I don't really want to go back to rounds.... would a lighter gauge of the same string help, maybe 40-100?[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Thanks[/font][/color]
