It can be done but it will take some serious tweaking and an awfully good set up, then if things weren't bad enough - if you decide to retune it to standard again your gonna have just as much trouble doing that!. (have a pro do it if you have one available)

I suggest having a stop tailpiece guitar (or string thru) for varied tunings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I hope you don't mind scrapping that guitar, because alternate tunings like that seriousl damage the neck!. If you have string locks, make sure you use them!. Like I said, the floyd rose was made for standard tuning, so don't mess with it or it will mess with you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
