Eb tuning just sounds so... "right". not sure what it is

my thoughts since I had like less than a year of playing
in most guitars, even the string and bridge setup seems to stabilize easier and play smoother with both light and heavy strings
maybe it was alice in chains and slayer's fault

[littleredguitars2]

haha not sure the reasons but it really just sounds so much better.

I fully agree. I guess it's because many many artists used it - Van Halen, Hendrix, SRV, Scorpions and almost any hair metal band in the 80s.

yeah van halen was a big one for me. same with hammerfall. old green day. etc. a lot of bands i listen to now though do Dstandard.

As far as I know there's this conspiracy theory going round the internet that Nazis changed the standard tuning pitch from 432hz to 440hz and thus all our music nowadays "brings us out of balance with the universe". E-Flat is supposed to be nearer to the 432hz tuning and thus sounds better. I think we had a thread about it here on the forum somewhere. Don't believe me? Go ahead, google it  :lol:

was quite astonished to be honest, there`s an article about that:

http://www.zengardner.com/440hz-music-conspiracy-to-detune-us-from-natural-432hz-harmonics/

on the other hand, novadays most bands tend to lower their tuning. Just noticed that most music styles are tending to be 'harder' and more 'bassy' and more in-yer-face due to the fact that people are looking for more intence experience from listening. I noticed that across most styles from pop to metal. Listen to some old school songs by Wham and compare them to some modern pop or even dub step. Same tendencies are presented in rock/metal as well. People are getting bored with standard E tuning, they have heard it milions of times through decades, they are gasping for something different. That`s way these days it`s 'harder' and 'more difficult' to be noticed and appreciated by public playing in standard E, most bands which are on the top of the world nowadays are lower tunned.
By the way e.g Metallica in last of couple of years are detuned as well (Eb???) (due to Hetfield`s worn throughout the years voice? Dont think so...)
Just a general thought.  :lol:

cheers,

Ok, so I installed mine yesterday, and it's awesome. Didn't test it much, only high gain stuff, but it sounded really really good. More to come real soon.

I love the camo battleworn cover with nickel bolts. It blends very cool with my extremely figured maple top.
