My D-15M came with lights (12-54) and that's what they are recommending on their web site for this model. I guess it's the exception to the rule

For a fixed string length, the amplitude of a string oscillation only affects the volume of the sound produced, not its pitch (if you think about it, you hit a string harder to get more volume, not to make the sound go sharp). However, thicker strings require more tension to produce the same sound pitch (frequency) than thinner strings (that's why one is cautioned about using thicker strings than recommended gauge, as the bridge may not be able to handle the extra added tension/pulling force). Player's fingers will certainly feel the extra tension of thicker strings. Furthermore, for same lengths and same oscillation amplitude, a thicker strings gives more volume as it is capable to move more air compared to a thinner string. This is equivalent to say that for same length, the thicker string requires a lower oscillation amplitude to produce the same volume level as a thinner string. You hit the strings with enough strength to produce a volume you are comfortable with. So now if you combine the two paragraphs above, it means that you will naturally hit the thicker strings less hard than thinner strings because you reach your desired volume with less force, and the strings feel stiffer. Less force on more rigid strings => thick strings will oscillate with smaller amplitudes, thus less buzz. Hope I haven't bored you too much |

In any case, fallaway on the fretboard tongue has no bearing on the buzzing problem, or on the action measurements at the 12th fret. Last edited by John Arnold; 01-07-2020 at 03:30 AM. |
