I just received my new Radiance Red JP6 and I have 2 questions:

!. 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?

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...

Stuie, do a search I think that these 2 things have been covered before in great deal.

How about posting some pictures, we'd love to see it!!!! :D

Welcome to the addiction! Rad Red is an awesome color. See the FAQ, much info there to help you. :cool:
 
The battery is disconnected when nothing is plugged into the input jacks.

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.
 
Many thanks...

I appreciate all the quick feedback...you guys rock!

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