i want to keep playing in drop c....i switched for standard and drop d to drop c today...will my guitar be "safe" if i just leave the strings loose and in drop c while in its case? it takes forever to tune back to standard...i guess what i mean to ask is whether or not putting the guitar in drop c is as bad as taking off all the strings at once and not putting any back on for a year.
Is it safe to leave my guitar in drop c?
Yes it's safe...One of my guitars is always in C...
I guess I didn't read full. Ya, Drop C has nothing to do with the effects of de-stringing a guitar and leaving them of. The Truss rod is there to counter the tension of the strings and without them, the neck starts to warp. In drop C, they are loose but still have alot of tension and it's fine. However, depending on the guitar, it may drop out of tune with heavy playing when low in C and down to B
Reply:Yes it is safe. My boyfriend does it all the time and it is actually better than changing it each time.
