WARNING: GUITAR BASED JARGON AHEAD.
Hey everyone! No, I'm not dead! I know, I'm surprised myself.
Just wondering about something, that any guitarists out there in the fandom might be able to help me figure out.
I recently bought a second hand Aria Pro II Les Paul, shiny black, cream banding, absolutely gorgeous and sounds like a treat.
Anyway, It came with 9 gauge or 11 gauge strings on, and I wanted 8 gauge. So, I went and changed the strings which inevitably caused some fret buzz and a horribly over sensitive neck (in terms of pitch bend when the neck is touched, etc.) I dropped the guitar in so it suited the strings, but apparently I need to put higher gauge strings on to completely fix the fret buzz.
This is not a problem, as I am practically professional at re-stringing guitars. XD However, with the current 8 gauge set up, the fret buzz is fixed but the neck pitch bending isn't. Now, okay, i do have to apply some force to the neck now, but it still seems much more sensitive than my old Squier Strat's neck.
Just wondering if this is normal, anything to worry about or - if it is a problem - how to fix it.
Thanks fellas! :D

BTW, a friend recently told me that the legal drinking age in Malaysia is 65! Surely this isn't true is it?
And no, that's not the case. We have no drinking age technically, but age/faith is 18+ and non-muslim. Furthermore in areas more than 50+ muslim sale of alcohol is heavily regulated
Okay, you doubt I can describe a Parabola, but I bet you can't play Parabola by Tool on a guitar? XD
I mean, i can write poetry, of course, but I dunno. Songwriting is much more different than I expected.
A waterproof one, or one that can be a distance from the water.
