I don't know if you have light gauge but on my side I prefer medium gauge. If you have a good luthier close to your place I'm almost sure he would be very thankful to you to see your instrument first and then give you a good advice about it. Then you have to choose between this luthier or send it back to SE.

Re: Getting Stick adjusted locally
I did change the strings and it made a huge difference. Intonation is great and the tone really sings out.
Thanks for all advice on this.

Randy Glad it worked out. Emmett's setups are excellent, but old strings are definitely a problem for intonation. See you in Pittsburgh?
