Hello folks,
I have 10s on my SRV Strat, I've down tuned a whole step and am now getting fret buzz. it'a a bit of a ball ache adjusting the truss rod on this guitar (vintage style). What gauge strings would give me the same tension as 10s at standard tuning? Would I be better off adjust the truss rod instead of changing strings?
