Hey all, sometime within the next few days, I am getting a setup done on my strat. My question is, will it screw up my setup if I tune to Drop C shortly after it gets setup?


Thanks

if you are going to play in drop c most of the time i would have the guitar set up that way, but i dont think it will hurt it to do that either way

Yo Metalhead Punk

Why don't you get it setup in drop C? Well - you probably want standard tuning and THE OPTION to go to drop C.

I think it should be fine, cos you're not tightening the tension on the neck so it's not like the neck would bow - and if it's not permanent it'll be fine. If it IS permanent then just go with my second sentence :)
