Well the slighest intonation problem will be blown out of proportion but i have a somehow well kept guitar it only seems a little noticeable when i play extremely consonant intervals above the 8 or 9 fret wich is not that often in cover songs and can be adjusted in the first freats so it sounds good.
bleed for me

you nutcase, why would you put a gauge like that on an ACOUSTIC guitar????????
electric, yeah...acoustic? That's madness...10 gagues here...and YES Im in C# all the time. I've got 3 guitars. And I put the lowest tuning on my old ass Fender. Then my other 2 one's E and the other's in E flat.
The lower tunnings are great! I love it. Dying Fetus uses C#, But so does Korn and all that gay shit (rolls eyes)
I've had my guitar turned to B and It was bad ass. Never had a frett noise problem or string flapping. Maybe you should rais your bridege a bit (shrug)
Any ways, alternate tunnings kick major ass! And In Flames uses alot of different tunnings. So check them out if you're really into it.

13 strings were made for people who spend decades working on cotton fields and that have the most thick insensitive fingers a person could have. Imagine you would do that and tried to play with .008 strings? you wouldnt be able to even feel them on your fingers. Most blues players got used to .013 strings ( even thicker ) for a reason.

Korn uses seven strings a whole step down. (a).
C# - a ton of bands
Meshuggah and Morbid Angel use 7 strings down a half step, I think Mortician put their seven strings in some completely ridiculous dropped tuning like G... (unless they used a pitchshifter, which is possible, since they cheat and use a drum machine anyways...tsk tsk)

Hehe you think G is low? The bass on mortician is also tunned down to G only 1 octave lower. Thats pretty fucking low.
I myself use 7-string guitar...But I cannot see any reason why that (B) isn't enough...well, if it fits better with vocalist, that's a good reason, but...
I cannot wait the next Meshuggah-album, where they use 8-string-guitars That's gonna sound heavy...

That's gonna sound heavy...Yeahno...there are possible to bend with pain effort. But I cant tune them to standard beacause the bridge that hold the strings will break and it was even a pain to get them to C#. E standard tuning is a real nightmare!
That black dude "Eric Biggs" must have fingers made of steel!

um I don't think so...if there is I believe the last string would be a higher A or something, like a 6-string bass (except that would be C...you get the picture)
conklinguitars.com have made 9 string guitars check out their site, some crazy designs.
btw Steve Ray Vaughan used crazy string thickness, like .15/.16 sets with a wound G! I heard that after a doctor's warning he had to go down to *only* .13 sets
Which songs/albums did Mortician use G tuning? I wanna hear this...
