New RG550 20th String Guage?

[munkee]

I just got the new RG550 20th. Does anyone know what guage strings come stock with it?

[Jem#5150]

9-42's i believe.

Thanks!

Yep, 9-42. And Ibanez fit them with D'Addario strings, just for the record.

I personally like Extra Lights(8-3. Is there any problem with using those on the RG550?

Probably not, although you'll have to re-intonate it. I'm guessing you play in standard?

And he'll have to re-balance the bridge otherwise it'll be slanted back due to the lower tension.

Oh, right. I don't have any guitars with trems, so I forget little things like that.
