I find that if I try and play a chord using the 2nd and 3rd strings, the 2nd string is overpoweringly loud, and even though the note on the 3rd string is higher it doesn't stand out.

I know there are various different ranges of string gauges to address this, but they haven't helped me.
I was just wondering what everyone else did about it?
Do you just have to hit the 3rd harder?

Cheers,

ahh, cunning. no I haven't. not sure how I'd do that..

depends whether you have a single coil, humbucker or p90 type as to what height they should be from the strings. generally, about two 2p pieces between P/u and strings for the base side, one for the treble side. have a browse on the web for your pickup type for more info. must be something on there.

Henry, if you want to make your 2nd string level, can't you just lengthen the legs on one end?

thanks Will, that sure is sound advice!
