B Standard Tuning Guitar 4,4/5 1828 reviews
Hey guys!
It's been a while since I've posted on the Sweetwater Forums, but I have recently thought of a question. I've been working on a project for the past several months and the album is being written with the guitars and bass tuned to B Standard. I have a Jackson SLAT3-6 Soloist and an Ibanez SR405QM 5-string bass. Lately, I've been wanting to add some acoustic guitar parts to some of the songs.
Would there be any negative consequences by tuning an acoustic guitar down to B and possibly adding thicker strings? What concerns me is that because of the nature and construction of acoustic guitars, I would think that the bass frequency response would be way to powerful and pronounced...making it difficult to record. In the near future, I'd like to purchase an Acoustic/Electric Martin. Sweetwater does not carry the 3 I'm deciding on, so before I post links, I just wanted to make sure that that wouldnt offend anyone.
Thanks for reading my post and I am looking forward to hearing your opinions!

Drop B tuning requires you to use different chords than you would for standard tuning. If you don't want to have to learn a whole new tuning, simply use B tuning instead of drop B. Start with standard tuning, then tune everything down five half-steps to give you B, E, A, D, F?
