I'm not getting along with them, in particular the high E - the 9. Super shrill sound and just too easy to rub over the edge of the fretboard on the low side.
When I bought the guitar I got a "free set up" redeemable any time within 12 months as they're too lazy to set the damn things up properly when they get them in the shop. I haven't used that yet, but I could do it now and say "throw some 10s on...".
However - my other, older, Les Paul standard has 11s on it. I find it stays in tune better and I don't mind the tension. I don't want to jump from the hybrid 9s straight to 11s without stopping in between.
Now I can adjust neck relief etc. myself if I need to but I'm thinking if I put on 10s myself now, that's really not much difference in tension from this semi-9s set and I probably won't have to do anything. And then, next time, if I want to go to 11s like the other Les Paul, I give it back to them because that probably WILL require some adjustment and redeem my "free set up"... It's also a bit of a nightmare to get to the damn shop.
So - how's my theory about the likely effect of going hybrid 9s to standard 10s - shouldn't need any neck adjustment?
