I have a Washburn electro acoustic.
Factory strings were D'Addario coated Phosophor Bronze - 12, 16, 24, 32, 42 & 53
I have stuck to these exact strings but now fancy trying out some other makes. I have ordered some Ernie Ball Slinky 12s, thinking all 12s were equal. In this case not. the 5A is 44 and the 6E is 54.

Is this likely to affect the setup or is the change in gauge negligible? I know I could try and find out but I could always just take them back and exchange them.
