11-70 gauge strings

[djentleman91]

Just quick question.

What tunings are you limited to using an 11-70 set?

 

[RevoltStudios]

I'm in Drop Bflat with no problems. The high end is not really loose or tight.

I'm in B standard on a sevenstring and it works very well.

Im playing 6 string mostly in B, Ab, or C standard w/ low G#.
Obviously standard tuning will just screw the neck up but I just wanted to know the limit cos theyre real hefty strings.
I'm guessing drop C?

That depends on your guitar and your own tension preferences. A .070" would probably get me almost into 8-string territory. Why are you limited to this set?

Zakk Wylde signatures, I presume?

Watch your nut width and tuning key eyelet gauge. Those fuckers are pythons.

I actually put 10-60s in E flat for "training". Best rhythm exercise in the world.

But seriously, just stick with anything below drop B

Depends on how hard your right hand is, and the scale length of your guitar.

I used to use 13-70 (wound 3rd) in C#. I was on a big strings = big tone kick at the time. It worked fine, but bending was a chore.
