I play in drop A, but for my older songs, I drop E to D, and A to G. Double drop.

I put my Jackson in G today, not too sure if I like it though. I'll probably have it back up to standard in a few hours

I put my Les Paul 7 in A today and was playing Motley Crue for a few hours involving the 7th string, it was a fun way to spend an afternoon

More words here is more words.

What made you switch? You used that old tuning for as long as i can remember.


Glory and praise to Thee, Satan, on high,
Where Thou didst reign, in Hell where Thou dost lie,
Vanquished, silent, dreaming eternally.
Grant that my soul some day rest close to Thee
Under the Tree of Knowledge which shall spread
Its branches like a Temple overhead.

i got a 7 to play in drop G... i ordered the mike sherman neck to play in that tuning, but then, while without a 7 string, igot that agile baritone with almost the same scale as the sherman neck will have... i then realized that holy shit, i can go all the way to E on this thing... so now G is a "maybe", and F seems more likely :P

Its not drop but i use C standard with a low G on one of my 7 strings for a few of my bands songs while my main 7 is tuned a semitone down.

I've gone lower as well since i have an 8 string also
