After a good three weeks away from the guitar - I was itching to get back to my Agile.
But, it also make me realise that for my style I find it very hard to incorporate any low F# stuff. It seems more of a barrier.
To prove my point, I took the low F# off - tuned the other 7 strings down 1 step ( 1 1/2 seemed too mushy for the cepheus) and then just rocked out playing guitar for 5 hours. Loved it.
So. What are my other tuning options? I may get a blank nut and decide to play it as a seven with the 'new' E tuned to an open tone? Would like to be able to do more melody on the higher strings.
I really like the cepheus pu's and am in no rush to change them. The only GAS I have right now is for the Eleven Rack - for stoner and doom it certainly has the sounds.
So, besides the Scale The Summit / octave plus for a 7+1 what else can I do? My current Agile nut buzzes even with the foam behind it - so if this can be adjusted I can just get back to playing guitar - which is what I want to do!
