Low string falls off saddle
I have a Schecter Hellraiser Solo-6 tuned to drop B and every time I play live, the low B string comes off of the saddle at some point or another. Do I need thicker strings or something?
Thanks |

You should be using something along the lines of Beefy slinkys for tunning that low. Your tone is probably suffering greatly with noodley strings. Get some 12-54/56 gauge strings and have your guitar intonated and the neck relif se correctly.

You'll need to have the intonation and relif aswell as action set up after you switch string guages. If you are using the factory strings (probably 10-46ga) you will also need the nut re-sloted for the larger strings or you'll find you won't stay in tune very long at all.

Not really. It's maybe 20-30 minutes of work all together if you do it yourself. you'll probably need to go to 12's or even 13's for that sort of tuning on that guitar
