Boy, that chaps my chops. Had this done and hit some rogue button. Anyhoo, I wouldn't accept new gear that is not perfect. There is no reason to. You shouldn't have to fix it. I'd say that most people use 9s. I believe they will suit you best. Tuning down a half step won't hurt. Hendrix and SR Vaughn used it all the time. Lower gauge strings would contribute to fret buzz. The truss rod might need to be adjusted. I learned on the Mel Bay Book 1 as well. A very good place to start, no matter what you do later. I started at 52 for a hobby. It is been very satisfying. All the best. :D

There are lots of modelers like Vox Tonelab that you can plug headphones into and rock out.

Check them all. Boss, etc. Have fun. (I had a Korg deal like that that died a mysterious death. I really liked it.) :D

After more thought, the Korg is the type of thing I was talking about. Amps, effects, etc. into headphones.
