State the guage. Also did the string break.

 

[Frodebro]

Your obsession with this is becoming a touch disturbing. Buy a capo.

 

[Blix]

No one is really tuning past standard, there's no reason to do that..

 

[Ignoramus]

Drop B.

Oh.... you meant the other way.

 

[Ed DeGenaro]

I tuned up a half for recording in F minor and have open strings.
Live I used a Variax for it. Strings where 9-46

 

[Alex Kenivel]

I tuned a guitar once

 

[strings2000]

I tuned a minor third higher than E standard. Wound G and Hi e snapped after tuning back down.

 

[Guitarwiz007]

Capo. No need to tune the guitar higher.

 

[DrewJD82]

This has got to be a bot of sorts.

Someone kick it and see if it gets back up on its own.

With my Steinberger GM7TA, I've tuned up to G standard in the full up locked position using 10-46 double-ball end strings. No breakage with relatively fresh strings.

 

[Sleezy E]

 

[Devin]

You're consistent aren't ya

 

[FuzzyAce]

I just tuned up 5 octaves from E standard with 12s. Holding strong.

 

[Mikael Dez]

Not this shit again!

Wellllll I have a guitar tuned to F-A-C-G-C-E right now…. (Open Fmaj9 I believe )

I saw a video I can't find now of a guy tuning his guitar and breaking every single string. *snap* aw dangit, *snap* aw dangit, etc.

INSTANTLY thought of OP

So you have a string fetish or something?

 

[strings2000]

Any stories you want to share. Anything funny. How did it feel breaking a string for the first time.

 

[FuzzyAce]

Bruh.
