The last one is simple but useful. Some people think they need to make all the strings as thick as possible, when you only need to change one string for drop D and even C.

i play double drop c# on my short scale 6 string lol

I've been using stringjoy customs for my Drop A# (my main tuning) I was never happy with any of the Ernie Ball standard sets, not to mention I prefer a wound 3rd on anything lower than Eb so I tried them out and it's been perfect. I do .012, .016, .024w, .032w, .044w, .074w and the tension is outstanding. Not to mention to .074 sounds absolutely massive

i play 9-52 for drop c (basically getting the higher 3 strings from a 9-42 set and the bottom 3 strings from a 10-52 set)

I use d'addario heavy bottom strings. They hold up well to a drop d flogging.

First thing I did when I got my LTD with the Floyd Rose was put that bitch in drop C 😂. It stays there.. my Schecter is normally in standard but it’s easy to enough to change tunings for whatever I’m learning.

I actually really enjoy playing with that 9-52 low d string, I love the extra play, as long as you control it, I think it can be used to your advantage

Bassist I used to be in a band once. Had a KORG rack tuner. Hadnt realised that he'd managed to change the concert pitch to something like 430hz at the start of the gig. Spent the entire show being 'in tune'....but not in tune with the rest of the band. Sounded really.....really weird...😆

Thanks man

I would use 42 and it felt so bad the string resisting my pick, didn’t know this part as a beginner lol😊

"once found I never went back". Trusty NYXL 10-52s. Skinny top/heavy bottoms sound and feel great in every tuning from standard down to about Drop B, then they'll start to noodle

Is that a Layne Staley Pop underneath Vegeta?.... sweeeet

In my experience, a .46 works ok for drop D too, but it's a matter of individual experimentation

Thx.

I went with 52 for drop D, feels so good to play

Pretty HELPFUL! My mind goes crazy when I try to figure out why there are sooo many gauges🤦‍♂️😂

I believe there is an evertune for drop tuning. Has a extra fine tuner on the bridge.

what esp ltd model is that?

hi, could you tell me the name of your guitar, plz

drop A?

Could explain how a floating bridge would be a hard time setting up?

I use 10-52s and go everywhere in between D standard and drop B perfectly comfortably

I play drop c with 9s and still sounds amazing

I have my floyd rose schecter set up for drop b but forgot which strings I used (12-13 to 56+) and just that is enough to need a new set up. Bought 6 packs of the same set this time 😂

56 for Drop D? No way, that's way too thick! I use 56 for Drop C/B

Tip for evertune is set it up on the dropped tune and tune it up to standard instead of doing a setup to drop tune every time

To be fair i understand the point of not having a floyd cause u can change between standard and drop tuning quick and easy but honestly i still cant go without a floyd💀

Not true You need to have dedicated guitar for drop A or dropC Evertune is great for riffs. If you want to play solo then not need for Evertune. Baritone for Drop A 26,5 . For drop c 25,5 Just play and find yourself comfy. Hail

A 46 or 48 would be more than sufficient for the E in this case, unless you hate bending it

The only thing i can think of as a solution is just buy a guitar with a locking nut so it fits all gauges but it seems all locking nuts come with floating bridges so i'm going for that.

@beastlybeast2716

@@dariusdumaplin6687 If you want to easily change tunings frequently then you want a hard tail. The ideal solution would be to have multiple guitars set up for a particular tuning. Changing gauges needs a setup. The intonation will get thrown off not to mention the action and the truss rod. You really don’t want to add in a floyd to that process if you can avoid it. It depends on the tuning you’re going for. If it’s something manageable on a standard scale like drop c or drop d then you should be able to go back without too many issues but you’ll still have to tweak your setup. But if you setup a guitar for drop A. Then yea, you may run into issues with the nut if you try going back to standard.

Even better advice is to use the gauge that feels best for the desired note regardless of tuning for every string, Best to have dedicated guitars if you switch often because there is no quick fix to proper intonation.

Get the right tuner and you can store it in those ridiculous giant gauge earplugs. Some day you're going to realize how stupid they are and then will have to face the question of whether or not the deformity in your earlobes can be fixed with reconstructive surgery, and the cost. Believe me, gauge plugs sure won't be cool when you're middle aged.
