If you tune your 7th string up a half step then all the other 6 up 3 half steps then you'll technically have drop c

You'll need 8 at the lowest for this tuning i did it once

Preferably 7s though for gauges

And then like a 52 for the 7 string

Or 46

like normal 6 string or like

the E is on the 7th styring

[hoary pecan]

yes but it’s not like a low low e it’s just a normal low e
