stoz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hello again, I've come to the conclusion I'll have to just ring up a dealer several hundred miles away and order the guitar I want without seeing it - there are so few of them in the UK. Before I do, can anyone tell me if its good for eccentric tunings like open C, where I tune some strings up 5 or more frets? I know I can program my own custom tunings, but I'm wondering about the practicality of stretching strings that much for the odd song & expecting them to last a night, let alone a couple of weeks. Anyone got experience of drastic tunings working out OK? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoz Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 OK, so I scored a naturalburst SG - and to answer my own question - no, it isn't any good for weird tunings. The system has a limit of frequency extremes that each string's sensor will recognise, which seems to be 3 frets from standard tuning. I even had it refuse to retune my b string up to D - giving me the pink flashinig light (which means frequency extreme reached). However, after another go a few minutes later, it did accept that tuning. So I need to set my tunings to within 3 frets of standard then use a capo. Not ideal, but it will work. Now we know.
