Anyone really tuning tower than drop C# (especially if they're using strings any bigger than 12's) should have a neck adjustment to raise the action, very simple solution  |

Drop C doesnt need that much attention to the neck, action and strings, of course its always a lil better but most guitars can take it. The last Ibanez i bought is made for drop tunnings, so i use that one for the dropped tuned songs. But before that guitar, i only had my iceman and id drop tune my Iceman that low, like Drop A kinda low.
Just like everyone mentionned, thicker strings (ive got .13 to .60 atm) for better note sustain, neck adjustment to avoid neck damage and raising the action a lil to avoid fret buzz and youre in buisness.
And if youre gonna tune as low as B or A with all those adjusments, avoid tunning that guitar to D or standard, its best to stay in a range of tunning depending on the adjustments made on your guitar for the sake of your axe. |

I found most Ibanez can handle Drop C no problem. I always wanted to try A tuning although I'm a little scared to.

| From E up to C would be a ridiculous change if you ask me. If changes weren't made to the neck I'd believe they would snap? |

WTF? No way, that would be really odd. DO you mean like tuning the whole thing up to Drop D or something? Or tuning from standard UP to a drop C? It'd snap your strings in no time and sound plain weird. Try fast forwarding a SOAD song and imagine it being played at normal speed but at the same pitch (Or if you can change the pitch with a program on your computer just do that) It might sound a but like that lol. |
