Hey I'm looking to tune my guitar to dropped b (low to high B Gb B E Ab Db) and i was wondering what a good choice for strings would be. Thank you

The heaviest set you can find, Nickel Plated.

Nickel Plated strings are stiffer than steel strings.

Okay for drop B tuning, i'd suggest using the 12-54 nickel wound set. Or if you feel the need to take it up a notch, try out the 13-56's, with a wound G string.

They both have a nice tension with heavy tones. BigGrin
