I have 13-65 guage strings on my 24.75” Epiphone les Paul II special w Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded Humbuckers, its intonated for/tuned to Drop A and it never goes out of tune and sounds amazing

[@MrJingles021]

What strings do you use?

[@parkwayfan84]

got a Epi SG Special II and i got DDT mega heavy(13-65) i play Melodic Death Metal/Metalcore in Drop B(All That Remains, Parkway Drive, etc. If a skinny Les Paul can take it then an SG is prob better the SG has a thick ffretboard but skinny neck, looks and sounds amazing actually. I tend to think SGs can take a punishing of shred, and since its a thicker guitar it has more heavier sustain, deep bassy(but not too bassy!!)growl on the low end and the high end just sings and the long pinch harmonics are clearer also. I cant wait to put these babies on when the time comes😲😃🤘

@Mason, any tips for the setup?? I have the same LTD but man, not sure what it is, drop A sounds bad.. muddy and all around no punch at all. I use the Mammoth slinky 12-62 and it does not work good at all... How did you managed this?

What about the intonation guys? Does it really work?

[@danitwisted7300]

@@kevindavid37 In fact yes, it works. It's also possible to intimate it. Problem I still keep having though is that when I strum the string harder, the pitch wobbles slightly on the low B String. I guess depending on the guitar specifically bit I found that I need to be gentle with the pick otherwise it sounds very weird :/ But let's not forget that that what baritone and multi scale guitars are created, if it was not necessary to have longer scale for low runnings they would not have existed :D

[@proteus2103]

Low drop tunings aren't really my thing... That being said, using an 8 string set was ingenious and it sounds fantastic. How is the tension?

Feels like 10s on standard tuning , using heavier strings on low tunings is quite common

Never tried Drop A on a non 7 string guitar, but I get away with C standard/Drop B just fine with a 11 - 60 set on my Gibson Thunderhorse Explorer. I found you can go lighter on the high strings and it still works fine and allows you to still play lead. Arch Enemy plays in C standard on Gibson scales with just 11 - 59.

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

The dudes from Nile tune their Dean guitars to Drop A, and they all have used regular six strings with a 24.75 inch scale. If it works for them, I can easily say that it would work more than perfect for you! I personally would rather just use a Fender scale length guitar, or even a baritone or a multi scale.

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

Enzo Almada recently I’ve been preferring multi scale guitars for tuning lower, especially since I’ve been playing lead. So many artists have gotten me turned on to playing multi scale like Charles Caswell from Berried alive and Rusty Cooley.

Awesome sounding song! I've been using Drop Bb tuning on my 24.75" Les Paul for some time now. I actually do quite a lot of soloing in that tuning, but I guess I'm used to playing with slightly more tension and maybe I'm losing out on some sustain in this tuning. My gauge set is 11,16,20,34,52,68.

This is why drop is my favorite tuning 🤙🏼👏🏼👌. Even just strumming the top 3 strings is perfection

[@karma2burn990]

In my experience you can drop tune any guitar as long as you set it up for heavier strings. I've gone down to B on my old SG (wish I didn't sell it) and it did death metal and chugs just fine, strung it with 11-52 ernie balls for that. That was a killer song by the way.

[@joeygarner1636]

I have a question: There's a certain sound a Les Paul has, if you listen closely it has a "bigger sound". I would love to know if the Jim Root Strat, or Mick Thomson Jackson also have that big sound? It's a small difference, but once you hear it in person and notice that big sound, it's hard to go back to any other guitar. I haven't found another guitar that can produce that full sound the Gibson's have. As you said, Gibson aren't very playable, especially for solos. But the sound is so damn good.

[@archdukefranzferdinand4992]

the shorter scale usually gives it punchier bass, there are a few singlecut options that are more playable (especially for metal) and have the same scale, the best one is probably the ESP Eclipse.

[@archdukefranzferdinand4992]

They usually come with EMGs but finding the right seymour duncans to slap in there can give you a huge sound

[@brandonbryson3317]

I’d say partially is just double tracking guitars and the overall mix. In person, a Les Paul would probably still sound bigger.

[@SAZABI009]

I used to go to drop A in my old heavy hardcore band on an epiphone gothic les Paul sounded killer not gonna lie

[@Brkprsn]

Between my 8 string Schecter and my Epi Les Paul Prophecy, I like the Prophecy more. Drop a with Skinny top beefy bottoms, and it just sings. Plus the epi's neck is so much better. I love the EMG tone from my 808's but that chug from the fishmans is just *chef's kiss*

EB 6 string Baritone Slinky (13-72) from B down through A Warning on using the Baritone strings, you will have also created a recurve bow, and make sure you're tightening your truss rod as you're tuning the guitar. Finger fatigue will be increased as well.

Longer scale, more stability, probably more tuning "endurance", shorter ones, just warmer, smoother, and sexy... In my opinion. My Gibson les Paul works in c tuning or drop a flat, with 12 56, but I could use thicker or thinner it depends, a 994 Gibson les Paul that always gets the job done. Old but Gold.

Tension can be compensated by getting thicker strings.
