I just put on a fresh set of 10-46 strings and set the guitar up for Drop D half step down. It's been tow hours since I set the bridge up and checked the intonation and I don't see any need to adjust my neck. In fact the only thing I had to do was slightly adjust my B string to get it perfectly intonated at the 12th and 19th fret. My neck has a *slight* relief in it which I know is normal and I have no buzz on any frets. I did the check between the 12th fret and 2nd Fret by tapping the 7th fret and it's got a business card's thickness between the low E string and the 7th fret.
According to everything I'm seeing, the guitar appears to be perfectly set up. According to my brain I should have had to add a little tension to the neck to overcome the lack of tension from the strings when I stepped it down a half step. Am I just being paranoid or is there something I am missing lol? This is my first JP6 and I want to get it set up properly and don't want to cause it to have neck problems down the road. Anyone else ever experience this because every guitar I have ever set up has had to have the neck adjusted.
