But unlike most 'nu metal' types, I'm not interested in having a low B string. I find that electric guitars have much of their tone in the mid-range and treble. When one starts to tune to lower notes, much of the sound is lost.
I'd rather put that seventh string on the other end (tune it to say B over the high E string) and play a lot of leads. Of course, one has to actually learn how to play leads and solo. But as someone who mostly plays rhythm (i.e. chords and riffs), I think it would make it easier to play a solo. Maybe I'm lazy. On the other hand, could I not say the same about all those de-tuners and the strings hanging over the pickups?
