RE: Ben and joesotd - so 10-52s definitely hold up ok for tunings in the region of "Drop B" or "Drop C" for you guys???? And I'm not talking about 'standard' tuning with the low E tuned down only (some people refer to these tunings in the literal sense like that) - I'm talking about Drop C as in CGCFAd etc...I'm thinking about experimenting with lower tunings on the GV Rock. I was kinda thinking I would need to look at 12-56 strings (for example EBs "not evens") but 10-52 would be cool if they are gona hold up nice (i was thinking the treble strings could be particularly "flappy" especially if I was going to Drop B)???
Drop tunings are fine. I play in a half step down dropping the 6th string to C# A# and G# I use 10- 52's and have a bigger top nut, so the grooves take the larger strings. I've put an extra spring in the back so the bridge stays stirdy whilst going between tunings. Actions fairly low too.
So you are saying you tune to the following tunings?:C# G# C# F# A# d#A# G# C# F# A# d#G# G# C# F# A# d#I can't believe you get down to G# with a .52 and it's stable! haha thats awesome man!!!Who/what inspired the G# G# C# F# A# d# tuning? I wouldn't know were to start with that!! Is there more than one guitarist in your band??Yeah I ordered a couple of extra nuts when I bought the Vigier so I've got options!!Melodic Shred Rocks! wrote:Drop tunings are fine.
