I think people think that maybe theres more chance I'll play if they sound mad and I'm like you guys are just pretending, I know why you go to the gym its for the steam room big boy, come in here with that '41' stuff, I see through that tiger DM 3-19

hmm on another site it says to tune your guitar down one and a half steps
that seems like it would sound like crap, but I can try it out

I'm at work right now, but I think I will try tuning down my second crappier guitar and see how it sounds. I just think tuning down a step and a half would make it sound like crap

yeah but its free crap to try, if you do the other first you could be out a few bucks if they break.

that is a good point, tuning down does offer the free option, which I like. I am gonna try it when I get home, hopefully it works out alright

I keep my guitar tuned down that low, so you shouldn't have any problems. You can't go much lower than a B though....unless you use it as a low drone string(like: GGDGBD)
