Is it bad to drop your guitar?
Is drop tuning bad for your guitar or bass? ... Drop tunings have relatively lower string tension, but switching between them won't damage a well-made instrument. That said, your instruments and strings like to remain in a constant state of tension, tuning and detuning them very often can cause them to wear out faster.
Can a guitar survive a fall?
(1)If the instrument is secure and has little room to move not much can happen to it. (2) If it is in a soft case the fall may not damage the instrument, but if you fall on top of it will be shattered. Better to fall on a hard case and hurt yourself a little, you will recover, the instrument may not.
What happens when a guitar falls?
When a guitar string is struck above the soundhole, the string vibrates just like a soundwave, all the way up the string to the nut, losing energy as it goes. ... The fall away keeps the frets out of the way of the string's rotational pattern.
Can you drop tune a Strat?
As low as you want, as long as you set it up. You could set up an acoustic into Drop A or whatever if you really wanted to. You can probably go down to drop B before you experience problems like, ****ty sounding notes and lots of rattle. You'll be able to switch between D standard and E just fine.
