    Tuning issue with Ibanez RGIXL7

    Hello everyone, I'm running into a problem with tuning the high E string on my Ibanez RGIXL7, with GOTOH locking tuners. All of the strings get locked in and quickly tuned up to standard with no issues, and almost no detuning with a brand new pack except for the high E string. I can't seem to...

    Quick question about telecasters and tuning changing

    Hey everyone. I was thinking of getting a telecaster because I play in a lot of those midwest emo type open tunings like DADGAD DADF#AE FAGCBE etc etc and I change between them often. Is it worth it and more importantly for example if I were doing a live set could I change between tunings on the...

    Extending vs Lowering Range

    Long-winded pontificating ahead. I talk about topics similar to this a lot if you look at my history, but thinking back to the article I mention below, got me thinking about a different nuance of the whole ordeal. Tl;dr: does anybody else feel like there's something "more exciting" about...

    Does Anybody Else Like Tuning a Standard-Scale 6-String Down Into 8-String Territory?

    Tl;dr: thread title. I go through these occasional fits of inspiration where I really like the idea of a standard-scale 6-string tuned down to a ridiculous register, like G1 or F#1 standard. I get that it presents all kinds of problems wrt harmonicity, intonation, etc., but I kind of like that...

    Custom tuning

    I'm finally getting a new 8-string made! I'm not sure about where to set my custom turning for the build. Standard F# or I'm considering asking for EBEADGBE because I quite like having that simple tuning for when I make my own stuff or improvise but is it worth it to do that or just ask for...

    Edge Pro 7 (what am I doing wrong)

    Hey all, have a recent purchase I am setting up. It has a Edge Pro 7 and it's giving me a harder time than usual. I got he right neck relief and action with he right height for the studs, then blocked and strung it, tuning to A Standard with 10-52 and a .068 d'addario set of strings. I have...

    Recommended Scale Length for Ab Standard and Drop Ab?

    To provide reference, I currently play on a Harley Benton multiscale 7 string (25.5-27"), but I am wondering what the general consensus on scale length in these tunings? Would 27.5 or 28 inches be a good length for these tunings to prevent intonation issues, along with a slightly heavier, but...

    Is it bad to change tuning a lot?

    I tend to go from Drop D to C# to C pretty often. And I wanted to know if this will affect the guitar in any negative way.

    First upgrade for tuning stability

    I have a Jackson Dinky JSS22 and I'd like to add some tuning stability. What would be a good first purchase for that? Tuners? New bridge? Also, what components would you recommend? Keep in mind this is a $200 guitar so throwing a few hundred dollars at it isn't really what I'm looking for...

    [VIDEO] Going Low on a Standard Scale Guitar

    I got a new video up on String Gauges. I wish I knew more about string gauges when I first started trying to tune low. Even after moving over to Baritones, I still find string gauges being one of the important steps in going low. What do you guys think? What tuning do you use and what string gauges?

    [NEW VIDEO] Ho High Can you tune up with some 8s?

    So I thought I'd try something new in my videos. Instead of seeing how low could tune, I tried to see how HIGH I could tune up! I got a set of Ernie Ball 8s and put them on my Tele and then tuned it up to Drop F2. Then I played over this with my Stagemaster 7 Baritone in Drop F1, and then...

    [NEW VIDEO] ML Soundlab ML800 Review

    I'm a huge Marshall JCM800 fan, and was super stoked to see ML Sound Lab's release of the ML800 emulation. It sounds pretty good. In the video I wanted to see how it would work with some low tunings, as these amps are known to be quite midrange with no bas. So sounds perfect for low tunings...

    [NEW VIDEO] Tuning my Baritone down to A0

    I got a new video up where I take my Squier Jazzmaster Baritone and tune it down to A0! Let me know what you think. I threw on some super thick strings (105-22), used STL Tonehub’s new Soldano SLO100 preset pack (which sounds awesome) and wrote a nice slow and sludgy riff. It starts in E1 and...

    So I got his new album about reading bones and stuff. Pretty kick ass. I have always liked his work. I still remember him starting in here in like '09 with his Darth Vader Agile and being super impressed with Lonestar Transcend. I know way back then he said he tuned his 7 with the 6 strings up a...

    [VIDEO] Fluff’s new FREE Amp Sim

    Have you guys seen and tried out Fluff (from Riffs, Beards and Gear YT Channel) new FREE Amp Sim. It’s modeled after his EVH 5150 EL34 and it sounds pretty damn amazing. I’ve done a quick video review of it. I used my Squier Stagemaster with a custom Baritone 28-inch neck tuned to Drop F. And...

    [VIDEO] Using 5ths in your Tunings

    I've got a new video up where I use a 5ths tuning on my Standard Scale Telecaster Deluxe. But I use a really low tuning. I start at a low F1, and use 5ths intervals between each strings (except for the 1st and 2nd strings which uses 4ths). Its a real fun tuning to use where you can get some...

    String Gauge for Droptuning

    Hello, so I am a complete string gauge noob, and have been neglecting my 7string for too long. A lot of music I'm wanting to play at the moment is Drop E or so. Unfortunately my guitar is only 25" scale, which sucks for me, but what can ya do My question, is what the most comfortable gauges...

    Tuning my Baritone down to Db [VIDEO]

    So I had a bit of fun, and wanted to see how low I could tune my Squier Jazzmaster Baritone with its 30-inch scale. Seeing as most 9 strings have a 30-inch scale I thought why not, and let's see if I can get down to a low C#. So I chucked on some heavier gauges (20-90), and tuned it down to...
