<div class="bbWrapper">Just messin with ya Gary...They come from the factory with 9-42, but will accept 10&#039;s without problems. If you go bigger, the nutslots would need enlarging, and perhaps a slight truss rod adjustment. And maybe saddle height adjustments to compensate for the thicker strings.<br /> <br /> Jon</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">thanks for the info...the 9&#039;s definately fit more snug than the tens...im not sure of the bottom end thickness of the tens, i knew you were gonna tell me nines though, my low e string just isn&#039;t quite so flush with the edge of the nut...but what do i care...i only have a week left to play my guitar...I would buy it from myself for 975....i don&#039;t know if anyone else will but i&#039;ll cross my fingers...</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Hey Jon,<br /> <br /> I was under the impression that if the ss came with hums, then 9&#039;s.<br /> <br /> If with mm90&#039;s then 10&#039;s.<br /> <br /> Is the nut cut the same on both or different?<br /> <br /> Hey, btw...how&#039;s my second favorite eb guitarist doing?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> <br /> <br /> KEITH</div>
