    12-56 can easily handle A standard or even drop G#. I use 10-52 for B flat or drop A. Getting that warble sound is usually a hallmark of down tuned genres such as sludge, Stoner, doom, blackened crust. Plus neck scale must be taken into account weather 24.75 or 25.5 length.

      When it comes to a very picky setup, I feel that shimming the nut, bridge saddles (on a floating bridge), neck joint all come into play, and there's a certain point where probably sending it off to a PLEK machine is the only way to get things to where you like it. For me, it comes with hours over months of tiny adjustments to finally get a guitar playing like I'd like it to.

      @@ConorRocksYT Yeah, btw, Here is a great helper video idea too: Leo made both the Jazzmaster and Jaguar guitars and their Bigsby like Vibrato specifically to appeal to Jazz guitarists and thus the super short 24" scaled Jaguar option was born that does allow easier pinky reach for more "radical" Jazzy chord shapes but (unlike the REALLY straight of FLAT break angle of Strats and Tele's) the guitars also have (for some reason I still don't know about) their much higher "old school Jazzbox" string break angle at the bridges too that, IF NOT SHIMMED FOR PROPERLY at the neck pocket, will cause Mysterious and Nightmarish intonation phenomena/problems and bridge or saddle buzzing due to a lack of the NECESSARY downward string pressure. If a Jazzmaster-Jaguar is set up wholly properly with proper NECK ANGLE FIRST and so on and so forth and maybe with a tiny bit of Lock-Tite at the saddle screws and bridge threads to keep them from vibrating loose and down and out of place then, you can absolutely use your OEM stock bridge as is, no problem. Otherwise many less dedicated or finally disgusted fans of the Jaguars just opt to put in the superbly made British "Stay Trem" bridge that costs Half what a Mastery bridge does too. Jaguars even have less Fundamental and MORE HARMONICS in their Note delivery! That's something worth trying out for most curious guitarists, no?

    I still think it makes no sense to call the High-E the first string. Standing up straight its the string on the right and when the guitar is in position it is the bottom one. Either way it makes more sense to call it the last one since we read left to right and top to bottom Edit: and in terms of sheet music the low E is called E2 and the high E is called E4. And 2 comes before 4... so...
