Members Robson780 Posted December 21, 2009 Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 My guitars pretty much stay in drop D all the time. Stored in cases, being played, etc. Will the reduced tension of the low E have any negative effects on the neck, long term or otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Rossness Posted December 21, 2009 Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 Shouldn't have any effects on the neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Spike Li Posted December 21, 2009 Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 Nein. Wood is a lot tougher than people give it credit it for- it was made to support the weight of trees you know! And besides, didnt Keith Richards only string some of his guitar with 5 strings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members golias Posted December 21, 2009 Members Share Posted December 21, 2009 There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. :poke: And no. Guitars are made to accept different levels of tension. That's why there's a truss rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
