The bridge will move. You will have to mess around with the spring tension.

he was talking about using fine tuners

and no, you can't they are fine tuners because they only have a small range, you will have to change hte spring tension

I played a Floyd Rose guitar that was in Drop-D. I wanted to play in standard-E, and there was just enough room in the fine tuner to get it that far (this was with an OFR).

i understand that i will have to raise my low e fine tuner to get it from c to d, and i dont mind it that much if the trem sinks or rises a wee bit into/from the trem cavity. i just dont want it to be an extremely bigg differece. cuz most of the music with drop tuning i play is drop c and SOME drop d. so i wanna use this guitar for both

Totally Youtube FloydRose. There are some videos that are amazing and helpful. I had no clue how to operate/change tunings on one, learned how to in one night. Never have to pay someone ever again.

truue but ive seen/heard people do it before. like they raise the low e fine tuner and then tune to drop c, and when they need drop d, they tune all the fine tuners. it does go up a bit but i dunno which guage they use. and i do have another guitar but i wanna use this for both

Maybe get a D-Tuna?

Ninja's right though... I have one in d standard and just picked up another cheap guitar for drop C.

Ain't gonna happen without setting the guitar up again. Your string tension will increase so the bridge will go up. Most drop D songs I play sound pretty decent drop C... fingering is identical etc etc so unless you are performing somewhere with other players you're the only one that would know the difference. Even using something like a d-tuna or a tremol-no doesn't work all that well. When you change the tension the other strings go out of tune a little. Something small and out of your control like the bridge/neck shifting is enough to put it out. When I used to go standard->drop-d on my FR I would still have to go through each string a couple times on the microtuners to get it in.

true you guys make a lot of sense and yes drop d and c sounds similar. and with the 11-50 guage it jumps from 38 to 50 so drop c is better i guess.

well... idk about better. Just sounds deeper and darker. A lot of Rage Against The Machine stuff is drop-d on the album, but I think it sounds sweet with a little extra palm muting and drop-c. Makes it like "Really Rage Against The Machine". I have my MH-250NT in standard tuning, and my Viper-400 in drop C. If I REALLY want drop D I can drop the low E on the MH down. If im just bangin around i'll use the Viper.

Absolutely not. Either get a fixed bridge or a second guitar.

USE A CAPO on the 2nd fret.. end of thread.

no can do.
