Dilemma.

ok so i recently tried drop A on my 6 and i love it (AEADf#B). i can get a really nice tight sound through my fireball.

soo i wanna try out this tuning on my 7 and for that i would tune to EAEADf#B, now thats fine but when i played in GCGCFAD i found the low G to be waay to muddy even with a 70. and im worried the same problem could occur with EAEADf#B, now i could try having an extra high string so AEADf#B_ but i wouldnt know what to do down there soloing wise and also im lazy so i dont wanna be resetting my floyd every time i try tuning a low or high string differently.


i like my women like my steak. light brown on the outside, pink on the inside.

You can always have the trem blocked while you decide which tuning you like more

Experimenting is sometimes painful, so you have to do it
