Incoming 8 string. I have a tuning question.

[MetalThrasher]

I'll post pics when it arrives! It's a FF 26.5-to-28-inch scale. I know standard tuning for an 8 sting is F# B E A D G B E. I want to tune down a half step so here's my dumb question which I think I know the answer. The F# should be F if I tune it down a half step, right?

Ohhh shit….someone is asking a question about music ?….notes and stuff….I’m out…. But I think the answer is drop z….

I have a thing about not tuning in standard with all of my guitars LOL! I either tune them a half step down or a whole step down.

I have discovered the joy of tuning to c# standard.

Yes it is F standard AKA Meshuggah tuning!!

A whole step down on the 8th string would be E right?

 

[DeathbyButterslax]

yes, it would be F on the bass string for e flat

 

[Techdeth]

A whole step down on the 8th string would be E right?

Yes sir . Buy ok these I did dropped D on the 8th !

Here’s another a whole step down
