Drop D

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

My KVX10 and Soloist Archtop Pro are tuned to E flat (D'Addario .0105 strings) for my band Uncreation (melodic death metal).
My DKGMT and JS30 Warrior are tuned to B standard because our other guitarist of Devastator uses a 7-string (and because we play brutal death metal). Here I use 13s.

I pretty much tune Standard, but then again I'm not very good so it doesn't really matter what I tune my guitar to.

Dean V w/floyd in Bb (13-65), Model 3 in Bb (12-60), lp copy in drop C (12-54) that gets tuned every which way depending on what I want to play with, and when I finish my hardtail superstrat project it'll be in B w/13-65s.

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

Mostly E. AC/DC don't de-tune, so I don't really see the need. If I ever want to experiment with that, I've got a 7-string.

One acoustic tuned UP to G, for playing Jethro Tull songs. I'm not a capo fan.

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

Soloist tuned to E
Dinky tuned to E flat
Rhoads tuned whole step down to D

I really like the tone when tuned a whole step down to D and I like E flat also.

1/2 step down and 1/2 step down drop D

Amen to that.....

Most all of the original tunes are 1/2 step down drop D.....

1/2 step down for most of the few covers we play.

Re: Fellow Metalheads, How Do You Tune?

Standard E... I think it just sounds the best and the versatility is there. 10 years ago used to do E flat a lot (Yngwie-influenced I quess), but then went back to standard.
