Thread: Need help on guitar. GOING UP GUAGE STRINGS ECT. PLEASE PLEASE READ GUITARISTS.

^good call, I didn't think of it, but the standard tuning for the seventh string is B, so dropped-tuning on a 7 string would essentially be drop-A. These "drop-A" songs are, thus, actually played on a 7-string. Perhaps it would be possible to tune up with a set of 7-string guitar strings, and exclude the top string (although this would prevent you from tuning to standard with the same guitar.

Yeah, just thought I'd mention it for future reference. I know how you feel, I have $0 for guitar stuff, which is a bummer because myclassical acoustic needs a serious repair job (a formerly fixed crack through the neck, but not the fretboard, reopened when it fell out of it's stand )
