The thing is that I don't like much the sound of the fat strings.

I look at it like this. Standard tuning on a 6 string is E.

So basically I'm tuning down a step to D and adding a higher string tuned to A or G right?

Is the problem that the higher string can't handle the tension?

I'm trying to understand the logic here. Mind you I'm an idiot

Tuning to D is less tension than E standard and you have an extra high string really. So I'm thinking

Extra Slinky, .008 -.038,
Ernie Ball Nickel Wound .046

Tuned To D standard with top string .008 tuned to G or A ?

So is my logic flawed or what gentlemen?

GUESS WHAT I'VE GOT? Fitzgibbons 5000 ultra synapse accellerator which allows me to think faster than the masses and phase in and out of the matrix at will.
