Hi, I just have a question. I have an American Special HSS Strat, but I generally use 0.8 strings. What could be the worst thing for that? I mean, everybody talks about using 0.10 or 0.12 and the re-adjustments, but nothing on 0.8

I really apreciate your information.

I personally don't see anything wrong with it.
It's what you like, in so far as how it plays and how it sounds?
I can't imagine there would be much of any adjustment at all.
Maybe a tad (maybe) loosening up the spring claw... and even then....

Shoot, you like 'em? Rock it!

I think they ship with 9s, don't they? You'd probably see them get a little closer to the fretboard switching to 8s. As long as they don't buzz on the frets you probably don't have to make any adjustment.
