Doesn't take much to change string gauge from 10-46 to 9-46. Maybe a twist or two of a few of the saddle screws to adjust the intonation a smidge. Maybe, just maybe, a little looser on the truss rod if the change in tension affects the neck at all.My MC594 has 10-46 and my SC594 SH LTD has 9-46 and both play quite well. The SC had a tech visit, the MC has not.
BTW, what does "hybrid hardware" denote? Is it the silver/gold finish melange on the parts? Hobbes (the one that arrived yesterday) has the gold buttons on the tuners, and silver/gold slugs on the Narrow-Field pickups....
