    You'll probably need to adjust your intonation after changing to a different gauge string.

    Done thusly;
    Harmonic at 12th fret. Then fret the note at 12th fret. If they're not the same, remember this...

    If the FRETTED note is FLAT, move the saddle FORWARD.

    OK I changed to Slinky 10's and I also lubed the frets up nicely with my Liquid Gold...whooowhee, my forearn is killing me...but seriously, man what difference...I did however have to adjust the truss rod a touch and I noticed that the three higher strings might need a dash of intonation, but after a crash course with Kbaim, I should be able to handle this without a hitch,...if not I could always go over to Jimi D's house...unfortunately OC lives in another friggin country...thanks to everyone for the help!

    That's the truth, bro' - you're welcome any time... and I've got a Peterson strobe tuner that's about 30 times more accurate than your average needle tuner (at least according to Peterson), which really helps get your intonation on the money!
