down tuned 1/2 step

[billyc904]

does the guitar have to be re-intonated when doing this? thanks. bc

In theory yes. I have a couple of guitars that didn't go out enough to warrant it. If you're going to keep the guitar in the flat tuning you should at least check it and re-intonate if necessary.

I play in a whole step down, as well as half step at times with no issues. I do however change gauges. If its down a whole I use 11s, if a half I use 10s.
