Quarter step down means 50 cents flat.
I play from time to time in 19-EDO or in quarter tones. It opens up some new possibilities.
Do you have a tuner that has a read out in cents?
In Hz, A down 1/4 step is 427.474 Hz. Anything between 425 and 430 Hz should sound close enough.
Tuning a six string in fifths is a great way to add a ton of range. If you stick to high E, the whole guitar low-to-high, would be: BbFCGDAE. The Bb is a half step below the standard B on a seven string guitar. You could tune this up aor down a half or whole step no problem. Tuning a seven string in fifths is pretty difficult to do without multiscale or special strings.
