Looking for something of a challenge I'm changing from E9 to C6. Other than the obvious changes to the changes is there anything else I need to be aware of?

So far the only problem I see is that the larger strings on 9 & 10 don't sit in the rollers very well.

I believe I read on here once that pulling the end plate off the head stock end makes it a whole lot easier changing the rods and cranks around ... True? Do I need to take the strings off before doing any of the mechanical work?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Never mind ... already tore into it. Maybe they wuz stoopid queschuns. Anyhow after I saw how much trouble it would be to just move a few bell cranks around I decide to just strip it down and clean it up. It looks like a lot of the brackets for the shafts have been replaced with home made hardware and a lot of the screws have been stripped out. Is that common on older P/P guitars? How much does it affect its value? It's also been refinished ... used to be green lacquer but is now natural.
