Hi Phillip,
I had the same problem with my CIJ Jazzmaster. I adjusted the tuss rood
with a quarter turn or a little les (tightening). This took care of the
problem. The 0.11 Flats have a bout two Kg more tension per string when
compared to 0.10 roundwounds. (compared a 0.10 roundwound d'Addario to a
0.11 d'Addario Flatwound set. They have a diagram of tension per string
on the back of their packages)
Tightening the trem spring won't adjust your action, just the trem. (but
this could be usefull as well after a string change from round to flat.
As for the adjustment for the tuss rod
"Right(y)-Tight(y)/Left(y)-Loose(y)" (Thanks Roland B. for this phrase))
Also Check Mr. gearhead.com for DIY tuss rod adjustment.
You will have to unscrew the neck or take it off completely to adjust
the tuss rod. (I usually take the neck off, since I find it easier to
work with the tuss rod) It could be a bit of a trail and error method to
find the action that's right for you.
Kind regards,
Jerry S.

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] Action is too high, any tips?
Yes it's another gear question: The action on my CIJ Jazzmaster is
too high. It came with 0.10 nicklewounds, and I just installed 0.11
Flatwounds. I noticed the action rose considerably. Should I adjust
the truss rod; tighten or loosen the screw on the trem-lock system;
does anyone have any tips?-Phillip
