I've always been using 009 gauge strings. Just 'cause it's been the default standard string gauge of every guitar I've ever played.
I mostly play in standard E or drop D.
I've noticed most guitar players on here use thicker gauge strings (although a lot of them tune down).
Of course, theoretically I could just slap thicker gauge strings on my guitar, but is it so that I would have to take my guitar to a guitar tech every time I wish to change string gauge to have it set up again?
How much impact on my guitar tone would it have to go up to 10, 11 or 12s? Can I get away with switching string gauge without a setup without messing up my guitar?
