Guitar for drop tuning with fixed bridge?

[Mike 24]

Wondering if you guys can recommend a decent guitar for drop tunings (strat style body) that has a fixed bridge? I am looking to spend around a grand for something decent. I have a ESP KH-2 that has a Floyd for regular tunings but wanted a separate guitar for the drop C stuff.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Drop C you could go with anything....

My ESP MH-1000 is tuned to dropped C, and my new custom is tuned that way also. I suppose a guitar with 25" or longer would be best, but you really don't need to go as far as getting a baritone only tunning down that far.

Drop C is not that dramatic. I have no problem with my LPs tuned to drop C... Neither does zakk wylde.
Are you looking for a new guitar exclusively or would you buy a used guitar?

Hellraiser, any number of LTD's, you name it.


Try to avoid Floyd's for any rhythm playing.

Try to avoid Floyd's for any rhythm playing.

this is unequivocal truth...

although i must say i used my floyd-equipped jackson from time to time for rythyms, but only when really necessary

Thanks for the reply guys, I'll try the ones mentioned. I really wanted to have an exclusive guitar (without floyd) for the drop C rhythm stuff as I have my KH2 with a floyd for regular tunings.
Take Care.

Yeah, what Oz said, Hellraiser. In C, Drop C or B it sounds like meat on a stick (in a good way that is), a good tight side of Beef.
