I mentioned that I had put 0.09 gauge strings on both my electrics, for easier string bending. I liked how they felt, but there was a side effect on the Telecaster. There was a buzzing on the D string when played open that was annoying.
I didn't immediately pick up the correlation that the buzzing started when I put the 9's on. Or if I did, I figured I hadn't put the string on correctly. Then I remembered a post on a message board, saying that changing the string gauge on a guitar sometimes means the neck tension will be different, so the neck will need adjusting.
Since I don't want to take it into the shop for an adjustment, I re-strung it with 10's. The D-string buzzing went away.
I'll keep 9's on the Epiphone, as that's how I asked for it at the setup. But it will be 10's for the Telecaster.
