Hello, hope everyone is staying safe & well.
I have recently re-strung my Starfire 1V-12string with my favourite string of choice "Rotosound R30EL" 10-48.
I noticed that the guitar is supplied with D'addario EXL150 10-46, but the string tension (according to Stewmac's "string tension guide, that I assume is calculated at A440 concert pitch) is considerably different. The D'addario's come in at 95.6 Kg, whilst the Rotosound's come in at 123.68 Kg.
I have adjusted the truss rod and set up/intonation are perfect but I am wondering if the increase in tension will compromise the guitar in any way.
I do not want to lower the pitch of the guitar and, I do use these strings on my Danelectro without any issues.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated...thank you............Brian.
