| May 7, 2016 at 19:03 | comment | added | Rockin Cowboy | The short answer is - yes it's okay - but you might need to adjust the truss rod and other set up factors. You referenced one of my answer's related to your question in your question - but actually you might find this one more helpful - (music.stackexchange.com/a/43987/16897) Saddle height adjustment is much easier on electric guitars that have adjustable saddle heights. You may also need to adjust the intonation after switching gauges. | |
