Hi everyone,
I'm planning on purchasing an NG2 six-string when they are released in 2018. My main tuning will be drop F# (F#-B-E-A-D-G), so that I can play along to eight-string guitars, however, I also want to be able to play along to seven-string guitars tuned to drop G# (I'd like to tune my bass to F#-G#-D#-G#-C#-F#, and just not use the low F# for seven string songs).
My question is: is it possible to find a string that would be able to handle a low G# very well, but also be able to tune up to B? I don't mind if this means the B string will have a lot of tension, I'd just like to know if it's possible, and if so, what gauge I'd need.
Thanks!
