What tuning do you all use?

g3rmanium · 03-28-2007, 09:52 AM

B standard. Although I might try something different (A E A D G B E?) with the Washburn.

well, on my RG1077XL, Im gonna use A standard (ADGCFAD), on one of my sixes i have it tuned weird, to DGDFAD, and i use E Standard (EADGBE) but i also use that one for Drop D and Open D5 (DADADD). The other ones i use Drop C(CGCFAD), and Drop B (BF#BEG#C#).

like i said, nothin special.

For 7's I usually go with standard BEADGBE or ADADGBE. On 6's I tune to standard EADGBE, DADGBE, Db and CGCFAD.

SevenatoR · 03-28-2007, 01:05 PM

Drop A - A E A D G B E

But I'll confess that I'm thinking about going back to B Standard....

Ravelle17 · 03-28-2007, 01:43 PM

I'm boring:

C-7 Blackjack - BEADGBe

Ravelle Elite - EADGBe

So when I buy your 1077, it'll be in tune for me.

Old thread, and one I'm surprised I never answered.

I play mainly in standard B. However, I'll do a bit of Drop-A for fun every now and then, and ADADGAD is just a damned cool sounding tuning.

My sixes are generally in standard E, but I'll also do Drop-D or DADGAD if the mood strikes me, and every once in a while I'll decide I can play slide and tune to open-E, which is kind of fun.

Currently it's - G D G C F A D.

angryman · 03-28-2007, 03:01 PM

hmmm_de_hum · 03-28-2007, 04:57 PM
