Cool, I like all the feedback and how everyone has a different opinion on the matter, makes me feel much better. I guess it all boils down to what you want your guitar to feel like. Right now I want my SG to play like butter. Like my strat does, only with more balls due to the humbuckers & thicker neck.
old wives tale to feel that 10's are magical for Gibson. Nobody at Gibson would tell you that if you called them. Actually my custom shop Les Paul came with a 9-42 set as I remember, I found that surprising. I used to say real men played a 10 set, only GIRLY MEN played 9's. Then I became a Girly Man. Which is why I always am skeptical of anything I say, from experience I know that fkalich says one thing one day, and opposite the next day. I still say real men play Les Pauls. Although I bought a Parker last year from OC's rec, and like it. And have other types. But I am only real manly when playing the Les Paul, I wear a blond wig when I play the others. +1 on the girly man here. Then again next month I might regret it and have it set-up to 10s again. Who knows. At least I know that the "Gibson with 10s" rule is a myth now. Here's Nigel going to 11!!!!! That one is awesome, laughed so hard first time I watched it. -------------------- Guitars:

For the record, I finally have my SG equipped & set up with 9s, and I'm really happy!
I used to play much more with the strat lately but now the SG plays like butter too (almost, neck is thicker!). Two were the reasons: action was a bit high & the 10 gauge was too hard for my liking. Now it "feels" right, comfortable. What's the point of having a guitar set-up wrong just because? I rather feel the urge to play it! And sounds really good too, I don't miss the 10s at all. -------------------- Guitars:

a gibson with nines will feel like a strat with 10's, if you like 9's on a strat then a shorter scale length guitar will have more tension and resistance with the same guage strings. Maybe that's why my Gibson with 10s felt like a strat with 11s then? It still feels a bit tighter thatn the strat with 9s, but it's not a huge difference really. -------------------- Guitars:
