Holy diver for downtuning

[Vilches3]

I was wondering how well the Holy Diver would retain tightness and clarity when tuned as low as like Drop C or even lower sometimes. Im very close to getting a holy diver for my warmoth which will be either alder/maple/maple.......alder/maple/rosewood or alder/maple pau ferro........and i use 10 and 11 gauge strings and it will have a flush mount trem. and  a maple top.

thanks!

Yes it will with that bodywoods!

[Vilches3]

thanks!  :D

and how does it sound for tapping? i mean coil tapping that is

If it helps, I recorded a few drop-C# clips with the HD a while back:
here & here (actually, the remix on Pg2 is better...)

Never tried it lower tuned.

As for coil-splitting, I don't the neck sounds particularly good split, but IMO you don't need to split it as it already has one of the best clean tones on the planet :)  I have no use for a split bridge so I've never tried it...

[Vilches3]

WOW!!! I hope i could get tones like that! though I probably wont since my guitars gonna be dominantly Alder and Maple and have the floyd. And youve got a Engl.....and those are magic lol
