## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this be good for dropped octave tuning? Can the strings handle it?**
A: Yes, I tune down to B on a six string and have played as low as A.   These strings are made for down tuning as they remain detailed and crisp due to the strength of the fundamental,  I don't like to use these unless I'm down tuning because of how detailed they are

**Q: How is standard tuning or e flat with these strings?**
A: heavy gauge with lowered tuneing sound sweet. but u want ypur guitar intonnated to a tuneing u plan kn playing the most or it will suck

**Q: Can these be use on acustic**
A: I guess it's possible, but why would you want to put these on an acoustic? Also it may not be possible to down-tune with that setup; I think acoustics have heavier strings in general so these would just be a little fat instead of extra heavy.Great strings for the price, however.

**Q: Are these good to us on a Les Paul?**
A: Ya they would be good on any guitar, but you'll have to match the string size on it or do a new setup.
