Would changing from 10's to 9's be significant in terms of the nut slots? Basically what I'm looking to know is would a change like this require machine work. (For lack of a better term)
The guitar came with 10's and I want to try those Ace Freely strings which are 9's.

No, but you should check neck relief and intonation.

I was told to stick with the 10's and that the 9's would affect the sound quality.
