hello
I have a lukeII since only 1 year and half
I use dean markley strings because EB strings break on the saddle all the time
I bought this luke new in a shop in Lyon in France
the trem was no setup floating and the action was very low(buzz with every strings)
I have adjust the height of saddle and just 1/8 turn the trussrod.
I play only 1 or 2 hours per a week sometimes never during a month and i note that the frets are already used on E.B.G..strings.
The local dealer for france say to me that it's a very rare case but it's not impossible:confused: .
The dealer of the shop say to me that it was normal because the frets are not very hight for this model ...!!and it's like a car when it was new a grinding is necessary !!!!:mad:

i think that it's not very normal
perhaps the action is still too much low
perhaps the dean markley doesn't broke but use the frets

I do not arrive in France to find a solution or a point of wiew of someone

i would like to say that i have also a silhouette since 10 years and no problem with it

if you can help me (sorry for my english)

thank you:o
 
My advice would be to contact Ernie Ball customer service first. They can help you more than we can. The only answers we would be able to give would be speculation and not helpful to you or the company. The email address is available on the website. www.ernieball.com
