Any string change, even of the same gauge, can have an effect on intonation.
Changing gauges can effect intonation, and / or strings could bind in the nut,
and / or the neck may need a truss rod tweak. If you aren't comfortable making
these adjustments, then I would take it to a tech. That's the worst case
scenario: There's also a better than even chance that the change will be
inocuous. Good luck!

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] silly question/ more for my mental well-being
Hey hey everyone out there,
I have a question which I'm 99% sure that I know the answer to, but I
just want to be rid of that last one percent. I play both a MIJ
reissue Jag from the mid-90's and a '65 Magnatone Typhoon. At the
moment both are strung up with 009's. I want to move up to 10s, and
just want to make sure this is a safe upgrade and I won't have to
adjust intonation or do anything with the truss rod. After thirteen
years of playing 9's I finally am getting fed up with the thin sound,
especially after I play jazz or rockabilly on my hollowbody, which is
strung up with 13s.
Also, will the switch from 9 to 10 affect my sustain or make any
other significance other than the "fatness"?
Any wisdom is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Surfband Bill
