Reflex string gauge

[jadaxis]

Anyone know the reason the Reflex is setup with 10's from the factory?
Anyone have any issues using 9's on the Reflex?

...just curious...

Thanks!

No issues,
The 25th anniversary is setup with 9's (and 250Kohm pots). I have no idea why the switched to 10's and 500Kohm pots for the reflex

I use 9.5-44 on my 25th - no problem whatsoever

Had no idea about the change from 250 to 500Kohm pots from 25th to Reflex which I find interesting, as far as string gauge play whatever feels comfortable to you.

I used Super Slinkys (9-42) on my 25th with no issues. Just a minor tweaks to the TR, intonation, and trem spring tension and you should be good to go. Why? I dunno.

Did you measure them? My 25th came with 500k pots.

Interesting, a string gauge change, a pot change, and reading the info on the 25th and Reflex the frets on the 25th are wider than the Reflex as well.

Many times 250k pots on buckers makes me nervous, but on some guitars and or picksup (ie Duncan JB, and 24 fret guitars) I've found at LEAST one 250K pot can help smooth out the highs.

I have my 25th with 10´s, and they do the job amazingly well...

Mine is set with 9's as for the pots I have no single clue, I guess I will have to measure it but I'm too lazy to do it

Pretty sure that was a mistake. The 25ths I've seen have 500k pots.

would be great if someone from EBMM could clarify this, doesn't bother me though as I found the guitar to my taste

My guess is misprint on the posters.

 

[crywolf71]

I don't know how to messure the pots. The printing says 450AB2505. CTS series 450, but connot find info on ab2505.
The frets are the same as the reflex.
Hope AJ can help us.
