Have got my Bongo adjusted pretty well and still have just a hint of fret buzz, so I'm going to try some heavier gauge strings. I've seen where others have used them and have cured the problem. Actually, some have said that they were able to lower the action even more than before using them. Anyway, I'm zeroing in on D'Addario EXL 230's (.110, .090, .075, .055), Ernie Ball Power Slinkys (same gauge as the D'Addario's) and GHS H3045"s (.115, .090, .070, .050). I've seen a lot of good reviews for the GHS H3045's. Some guys are saying that they can down tune the E to a D or even a C without any fret buzz which has got me kind of excited. Anybody have any experience with any of these strings on a Bongo? Any recommendations?
