<div class="bbWrapper">I just received my new Radiance Red JP6 and I have 2 questions:<br />
<br />
!. Has anyone had experience restringing from 10's to 09's...everything else I have is strung that way, and I would like to stay consistent...What are the ramifications if I do? Or is this something not to be atttempted for some reason? <br />
<br />
2. How do you conserve the battery power? Is it simply a matter of unplugging the guitar to save the battery, much like a stomp box? Many thanks...<br />

<div class="bbWrapper">The battery is disconnected when nothing is plugged into the input jacks.<br />
<br />
Switching from 10's to 9's may involve leveling the trem, tweaking the truss rod, and /or re-doing the intonation. You won't know which or how many of these until you do it. Some people have switched with no changes needed.</div>

Also, the string height will change. The smaller diameter of the 9's will lower the action a bit.</div>

You could calculate the actual change in action if you knew the exact angle/taper that the nut slots were cut at, but it's much easier to just measure before and after string gauge changes <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></div>
