fleabag Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Man oh man, these have some tension on them. I just fitted a new set and they pulled the relief on the neck so far that just adjusting the truss rod simply did not work because i ran out of adjustment. Luckily i had a spacer under the Schaller 3D and had to remove it to get the string height down. Originally i had the bridge saddles set flat ( with spacer fitted under bridge ) and with the amount of relief i like in the neck, had my perfect setup. With the spacer gone, i had to raise the saddles a tad. Good grief though, how did Fender get that much tension in Nickels ? Quote
mr zed Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 Good though aren’t they - they have a piano-like tone about them. Quote
ClassicVibes Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 The blue sky packaging or black background packaging? If the black version, they are essentially XLs with a subtle difference. Quote
Delberthot Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Was it the 7250L or 7250M? I haven't tried the 7250L but the 7250M are D'addario EXL165 with different coloured ball ends. There may be another subtle difference but they feel the same to me. I've never found them to be overly high tension. Quote
