Buzz Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 You've downtuned, so there will be less tension in the strings, yes, you'll need to tweak the truss rod. Is it worth it for one song....unless you're performing infront of someone who's going to give you lots of money or not kill you if you play that one song, then no.

The Funk Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Worth it? No. Borrow a 5er! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 You could buy a set of 5 strings and use the lower 4 but you'd have to file out the nut so maybe a cheapy fiver would be the answer. Must be loads on here for sale, or ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Marsh Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 its for dead mans chest by parkway drive, thinking of doing a cover. might just scrap it if it means going to those lengths, plus not a fan of the 5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
