Changing tunings often.
Changing tunings often.
i remember this being asked sometime ago, but anyways:
Does changing tunings often from say C to E std affect the neck on a fixed bridge guitar?
My guess is no, but what do you guys think?

It will only adversely affect the neck if each time you change strings you change the GUAGE of the strings from say a .009 set to a .012 set. More steel = more tension period. But if you had it set up true to begin with then it shouldn't make too much difference in the short run.
My advice? Spend $300-ish and get yourself a beater to put in the tuning you play in the LEAST.

My guess would be no. You can apparently leave a guitar without strings for long periods of time and not have to worry about too much. So I would think, you could probably change tuning without much problem. Though, if you've got think ass strings for C and your tuning up to E with them... I would think that might do something, even if it's not much. It just sounds like it should do something you now? But then, I'm a "n00b" anyway, so what do I know?:p
