My only gripe with my new SF-IV are strings that feel quite stiff. I'm assuming they're 10-46's, but could they be 11's? I'm thinking of putting a set of 9.5-43's on there to see how they work. Suggestions?
Another question for DrumBob: Does your new Starfire have a stop-tail or Bigsby with a tension roller bar? Either will usually create a steeper string break angle over the bridge which combined with 11-48 string set could explain the stiffer feel. A set of 10's will surely help.
