I use drop C and drop D sometimes. Mostly play in D standard.

But I have guitars tuned to B, Bflat, C, and C# standard.

Most songs off Sirens Song by Parkway Drive.

Hester Prynne - As Blood Runs Black (could be Drop C, don't quite remember).

The solo to No Pity For a Coward - Suicide Silence.

Nice. My favorite tuning is Drop C and D. Bb is a cool tuning too. Whenever i talk about my low tunings, some other people normally say "What the hell is that??" Like they need 78 guitars all in Standard E or something. :poke:

Yeah, for a long time, mainly before I acquired 15 guitars, I mostly played in standard.

Then I realized that I prefer playing in D standard the most.I do play a lot of death/grind stuff at home and that's when I break out the drop and low tuned stuff. Here's a breakdown of how the collection is tuned.

 

4-D Standard

2-E standard.

2-drop D

1-Drop C

1-C Standard

1-C# Standard

1-B Standard

1-B Standard-7 string

 

I had one tuned down to A standard, but it was a pain in the ass to keep in tune. Need to experiment with string gauge and widening nut slots.

Or buy a Baritone. I've toyed with the idea of an 8 string for fun, even tried one, but I think I'll stick with 6 and the occasional 7.

I've often wondered how some people here have 30 guitars that aren't in any alternate tunings. I'm not saying multiple guitars are bad, but still.

[cerebrix]

for me....

 

its this.

[Selbstmord]

ISIS - C.F.T. (New Circuitry and Continued Evolution) or pretty much any other ISIS song.

Decent, I like your organization. I only have one Drop C (my avatar) one Standard E sometimes drop D, and one crappy one i alternate between Drop Bb to C Standard or to Drop B. And yeah im getting a cheap 7 string real soon here. Ill probably switch from B Standard to Drop A. I just dont see the need to get another guitar and put it to B standard if you can just get a 7 string and drop the G a half step :poke:

yeah no kidding. I can understand one main guitar, a few backups and maybe a 7 string or so, but do they really need so many guitars that all have the same tuning? I always tell myself i only NEED a guitar if i experiment with different tunings. I guess that's why i only have 3 guitars

Yeah, I have my Schecter C-1 in Drop B/C/D, and my Tele in Standard. When I get my Schecter Blackjack, it'll be Drop B/C, and my C-1 will just be the one for alternate tunings or to do what the Tele isn't well suited for.

 

But I do understand a back up or two for gigs, and a couple different guitars in the same tuning (for styles).

Yeah like if they had a strat vs. a Carvin DC model or something then i could see having two same tunings. I hope to get a C-1 sometime too. A friend of mine just got that type and won't stop telling me how much he loves it I'm not much of an EMG guy though. What are those SD Mayhem Sets that's in your sig? I've heard of Seymour Duncan Diablos (and i desperately want them) but i havent heard of Mayhems.

Yeah, the C-1's are amazing for the price, and then some. I went to GC expecting to get a Gibson LP Studio faded or whatever, or PRS SE Single cut. I played the C-1 and it really felt like a much better guitar. And the Mayhem set is just what they call two Duncan Distortions (SH-6n/SH-6b). They're great, and with the Coil Split it's a really versatile set.

EDIT - I've tried to do a tone vid, but I'm currently struggling with getting a good amp tone
