They're available now already at Sweetwater. I got some a few weeks ago.

Question : If I switch from RIC strings to these, do I need to tweak the truss rod or are they a drop-in replacement ? Thanks all.

Yes, in all likelihood you will need a truss-rod adjustment with the switch from RIC to TI flat wound strings.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Maybe? Depends on how your guitar is set up at the moment.

I guess the question is, is it dangerous for the guitar to put on the TIs without adjusting the truss rod, or is it more a matter of playability ?

Definitely more of a matter of playability.

Even if you do end up having to make an adjustment, it'll be a subtle one either way. :)
Thankful to be included
