I have a 2916 R9. Love it!
I originally screwed down the tailpiece and tried top wrapping ala Joe Bonamassa. When I brought it to my tech, he recommened against that, and had a particular way of setting up the tailpiece where the treble size was higher than the bass...so the break angle on the Low E is steeper and the high E is very flat.
I've never seen this done before, and the tech is kinda quirky...a bit too quirky maybe, as I've never seen anyone use this method before, though he swears by it. I think I'd rather just have it set up traditionally.
As far as making the adjustment myself, how do I go about doing this and getting the optimal height for sustain, overtones, feel, etc? How do I balance tyhe two posts and make them "even"?
Thanks!
