Hi there. Gotta question for you guys.
I've bought a new Fender Mexican standart Stratocaster just yesterday and I'd like to know, Do I need to make some special set ups before stringing .11th strings on in case I use Eb tune? Or it's enough just to low down the standart tune with .11 strings on?

Thanks

Anytime I get a new or new to me guitar I make it a habit to do a complete setup on it. Not everybody likes their guitar set up the same.

There are several Stratocaster setup guides on the internet (including the one on the Fender website. Remember they are guides. You may like a slightly different setup.
