Am i the only one that gets annoyed playing along with cds because every band has pretty much has a different tuning. I could just imagine if i had a floyd, it would take half an hour between albums to retune....
i almost need 5 different guitars, each with their own tuning.

yeh some bands drop there guitars way too low i dont mind standard or one step down but anymore can get annoying plus you need to end up buying more strings to compensete for the loseness of the strings

i want to put heavier strings on and tune back down to drop C.... cause everything i play is in there... but, the guy at the guitar sto' said i have to get it all setup for different guage strings and tuning and junk. I dont know if i really want it messed with cause the action is awesome right now. What do ya think?

Strapping Young lad as well. As for tuning, I'm all over the place. Somedays I play drop C, sometimes Drop A, E standard, drop D....these are my most used tunings...and I'm using only 1 guitar. I spend more fucking time tuning than playing...pain my ass. But hey whatever floats the boat

yeah thats for sure. One problem is that going from E to drop A changed the tension on the neck and usually ends up making one or the other sound really bad depending what size strings your using. But i guess if your guitar is setup in C, you can probably get away with going up and down a couple tunings.

I had my geetro set up at a local shop here for C tuning, cool thing is is that Glen Drover (ex-guitarist for Megadeth) Does guitar lessons there every wednesday. $25 an hour, I think I might get in on that one of these days.
