If You Play Super Heavy Gauge Strings, You’ll Probably Want To Do This.

Показать описание

I’m a big fan of drop tuning and heavy riffs, and everyone knows that some heavy gauge guitar strings can help out with that!

But not all guitars have tuning pegs that are able to handle the larger guitar strings.

Sure, you could partially unwind the string every time you swap to a new set.

Or you could shop around for tuning machines that will fit your desired string gauge.

Or you could *gasps* go lighter and not play so low and heavy!

Or you can do this quick, simple 5 minute modification and never have to worry about that particular problem again.

Why not just play a bass at that point?

you just need to unwind the string, so you don't f... your tuners

I play in drop G using 10-56 on a 7 string. Works out really well

Damn I look at this and I see my 130 gauge bass sting and I wonder

0.90 oh you gotta do some truss rod adjustment after the weird different tension... Could've just had 13s like i did and played it as E standard 1 octave lower for a while.

Not saying you shouldn't do it I'm sure you know what you're doing but make sure to have a proper setup after this unbalanced tension, neck relief and all good luck ❤️

I thought you meant filing down the nut a bit. My jaw dropped.

I’m about to put a .068 or .070 for drop c. Love the thicker strings

Y'all need to see the Fender Bass VI.

did you do anything to "finish" the metal? i keep thinking that if ill do this the metal wont be smooth and it will cause string breakage or eat into the string in an undesired way. or am i just over thinking it and i should drill my tuner already?
