ALRIGHT. So, I currently own two electric guitars. I use them both frequently. Both of these guitars, however, have what's called a "Floyd Rose tremolo system" which basically allows you to have a wammy bar on the guitar. This is one of my electrics with the Floyd Rose system:
The Floyd Rose system allows you to bend the strings with the bar without knocking them way the forget out of tune. It does so by having these clamps instead of the nut at the top of the neck, that lock down onto the strings. You tune the guitars with the fine-tuning pegs at the bridge (bottom). The problem of this all is that the fine-tuning pegs pretty much prevent any sort of downtuning on the guitars. The reason this is a problem is because I love to play rock covers, but many of the songs I want to play are in Drop D or Double Drop D tuning. Since both of my guitars have Floyd Rose systems, this becomes impossible without reconfiguring the entire tab. Should I pick up a new electric at a pawn shop, or is there a way to convert Floyd Roses into standard-action guitars?
