Jim__H Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 My Blueshawk was setup with 9-42s a few years ago, does anyone know if I switch to 10-46s will that affect the setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Yes, it will. The neck relief will have to be adjusted to keep up with circa 23% more string tension. It may take some days or weeks until it's solid. Intonation adjustments can't be predicted. They have to be done as always, i. e. fretted notes at 12th fret should match the 2nd harmonics for each string. Certain refinements can be required after settling of the neck relief. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It depends... :blink: Usually a change up one gauge will raise string action and increase neck bow This can sometimes work well when the perceived tone improvement is appreciated I have a couple of electrics which have cycled between 9's and 10's for years without IMO needing any adjustment/set-up V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I will just take measurements before and after and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
