Hello, I have the same guitar and I've used the 9's as well as the 10's... Now i stick to 10's. It's all good.

I am loving 10s too. Its just so warm. 9's sucks... .. maybe for metal head bangers who wants sharp ear piercing tones.

you might need to adjust the neck/ floyd rose again because 10s seems to pull the Floyd rose if you have one.

In my opinion the 10s are definitely better, they will give you a fuller tone, but yes, you might have to check on the intonation, changing the gauge of your strings will allways affect this, you also might have to adjust the string action, but don't let this stop you from using those strings

Sometimes intonation and neck/bridge adjustments are needed when you change string gauge. 10s sound great, you should not have any problems with them...

Usually it is good to do a full setup when you switch the gauge of strings, this way you will be sure that the guitar is properly tuned for use.

The diffrence is hughe if you play on gear that is very responsive! On a cheapo guitar through a modeling amp it won't make a big diffrence but I recently played an ESP Eclipse through a Peavey Tube Halfstack at a store in drop d tuning with 9s on and I snapped the a string. The salesman put on a new set of 10s and the increased string tension made the riffs much more tighter and solos sustained longer! I noticed this too. I usually use Ernie Ball 9-46 hybrid. Once I put 0.10 that was like a whole different world. True that on modeling amps it doesn't really make much difference but on a real gear will do for sure. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

I myself use hybrid string sets on both of my guitars:
0.11 0.14 0.18 (wound) 0.26 0.36 0.46 I like to use wound G string instead of plain one. So treble strings are from 0.11s set, and bass strings are from 0.10s set. -------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me too! I get a cold sweat just thinking about having to play on 08 strings but 07?!?! That's just painfully thin! Probably would make a nice trip wire for military explosives...... Cause i doubt you can even see 0.07s except really close with a magnifying glass.... -------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Taco Stratocaster has 9's but for SOME reason it is harder to bend than other strats with 10s. Any ideas ?
