My blackjack comes in tomorrow. I have slightly thicker gauge strings (.9-.79) than the stock .74's which come on the guitar. I plan on changing them right away. The only info I could find specific to this model of guitar talks about detuning way down or missing bridge screws, so forgive me for being redundant: can I merely drop the whole thing down a half step or one full to balance out the tension, or will I absolutely have to make a truss rod adjustment? My last cheapo guitar's bridge started to pull out cuz I stuck too heavy strings on it without adjusting anything. I tuned down a half step and that seemed to ease the pressure; I just don't want that to happen to my new baby and I would prefer not to have to take her in to a tech if I can help it. Any suggestions?
