Are 10-46's too much for a JS 1000/1200?


My trem is perma-blocked with a Tremol-No if it makes a difference...Just wondering if the JS 1000/1200 series were only meant to have 9-42's on them, and if they are OK to have 10-46 strings on them all the time. I was just wondering this since the Prestige neck is really thin and the body wood is really light (basswood).

E: .009" [PL] = 13.13 pounds
B: .012" [PL] = 13.11 pounds
G: .016" [PL] = 14.68 pounds
D: .024" [NW] = 15.77 pounds
A: .032" [NW] = 15.77 pounds
E: .044" [NW] = 16.10 pounds

Total Tension = 88.56 pounds

E: .010" [PL] = 16.21 pounds
B: .013" [PL] = 15.38 pounds
G: .017" [PL] = 16.57 pounds
D: .026" [NW] = 18.41 pounds
A: .036" [NW] = 19.54 pounds
E: .046" [NW] = 17.48 pounds

Total Tension = 103.59 pounds

i use 11-48s on my rg2550z and it's fine (so far). i really don't think it matters at all, ibanez would at least tell people that you can only use 9-42 if it was true, but i don't really think it matters.

That would be fine. You can put any strings on it as long as you adjust it properly (action, relief etc.)
