EC-256 switch to heavy-bottoms, any nut filing needed?

    I've got the EC-256 which seems to have come with the 10-46's...

    I'd like to use Light Top/Heavy Bottom set from D'Addario or Slinky (10,13,17,30,42,52)

    I'm comfortable adjusting action (done this on another LP) but didn't have to do any nut filing.

    I'm curious if anybody has used heavies on the lower strings and if they had to do anything special to the nut.  Thanks!

    Not LTD, but I didn't have to do anything on my Squier when I messed around with gauges for Drop B.(13-56 and 12-60)

      Typically I would think it would work on most nuts so long as the strings fit. If the tolerences are too tight some filing might be needed and I'd rather not do that... 

      I find that on an LP going with heavier bottoms helps eliminate buzz b/c the strings are a little tighter. My LTD doesn't buzz unless my fingering is a little sloppy, heavier strings help with that.
