I’m thinking about getting my second guitar quite soon (when I get the money), nothing too expensive. Been looking at some Ibanez guitars going prett cheap for around £150. When I get it I’m going to modify it so I can go down to drop B and drop A tuning because I want to play Slipknot/ nu-metal songs which I can’t with my current guitar, due to the medium string gauge it has. I’ll have two diferent guitars for two different styles, my standard E tuned Yamaha, and a low tuned (drop B/A) guitar for the far heavier stuff.
Apart from heavy gauge strings, and changing the nut to accomodate the thicker strings, any other modifications I’ll need to do to my guitar? Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I’m keeping my price point relatively low, no more than £200. And I’m not very tech savy when it comes to guitar, so no complicated terminology (try and keep the language simple)! Thanks!
