What would happen if you have a guitar that is setup for .10 gauge strings and..?

14th August 2010

And you replace the treble strings with .9 gauge, while leaving the bass strings .10. Could there be any damage to the body of the guitar?

Actually, you have inadvertently stumbled onto what are termed "hybrid slinky" made by Ernie Ball.

I myself have been using those exact strings for at least 20 yrs or more.

they give you better power chords depth while making soloing a bit easier on the fingers.

You will not hurt your guitar in the least.
