I play a Rondo Music Agile TC 630. It's a knock-off Tele and I love it. I had it set up with 009-042 strings and it plays wonderfully. I'm running very low on my Fender 250L strings. I received some Ernie Ball Extra Slinky 008-038 strings as a gift some time ago. Can I put the 008s on without another set up or would that cause neck issues? I'm not a pro and don't gig. I play as a hobby just to relax/decompress after work. Tonal differences in the string gauges won't be an issue with me; but I certainly don't want to damage the guitar. Thanks in advance for any input, and I apologize for such a newbie question.
