What gauge is your string?9's to 10's shouldn't be a problem.

oh man, that store just ripped you off.
looks like they kept the d'addario box cos they want the points so can redeem free stuff later.

somemore charge RM25 for it...

d'addario comes with box? i dunno. all the strings over there is like this. so i dun really know. in miri, almost every shop is selling for rm25. guess its bad over here. im not sure what gauge im using now.

man, i didnt expect changing string will need this long. its freaking 2hrs. lol. so.. to be in the safe side. any1 can tell me how to check if the gauge im using is fit on the setting of my guitar?

Yeah. Total rip off. And it's GAUGE...... not GAUSS.

You don't HAVE to re-setup. The gauges you bought is pretty standard. Unless you're doing something crazy like .70s or something like that, you won't need to resetup.

Also, next time, buy a String winder and cutter. It'll save your already aching arms.

i have string winder and cutter. well, not standard cutter, those cut wire 1. i cant find a string cutter in here

9s change to 10s

u cud check the neck relief abit
may b u wana make it tighter....

if the trem is nt in usage...
jz lock the springs at the back dead
and lock all the screws
no further worries

how to tell if the neck is at standard or is stress? or is relieved?

i think my trem is locked dead. i think. how to check?

changing from .09 to .10 wouldn't cause much problem unless your guitar has been setup for really low action/little relieve with the .09 strings. so by factory standard, it shouldn't cause any problem to the neck and action.

the problem may come from your trem bridge. you might need to tighten the springs.

OT: what can you do with the d'addario's packaging? how to redeem it? i have a bunch of 'em that i refuse to throw out .
