You name it
1. Take THICK strings (62.er set or something) when you want to go C or below
2. Set up the intonation again (as stated)
3. Adjust your trussrod/neckbow, this is important to maintain the sound and feel !!!
I currently use a 24.75 in Drop B/A# without problems with 62s.
It came in E from the factory, and following those steps it plays as nice as my sevenstrings.
The sound of the unplugged guitar will change a lot, so dont mistake the fat, noisy sound of the thick strings for fretbuzz, they sound like that.
Everything gets nice when using an amp then.
Keep in mind that you will need more gain on the thick strings.
But you can say it feels a lot different form a usual guitar.

Not agreed.
You can easily set up a 24 for drop A.
Your strings will just be thick as hell (70's or something), and a lot of people dont dig this, it is possible though.
Just follow the steps above, and dont forget the neck.
/ Keep in mind that the long baritone scale will take some time to get used to, its not a smooth change.
