What about if I tune my AXIS with the D-TUNA on in F#.(I mean: tuning the guitar in F# with the D-TUNA at the "original" D position)

Then it will go to E when I return it to the " rest" position without any suffering for the guitar???

Do I explain myself??? jejejej

Thanks in advance!!

I see no reason why it shouldn´t work, haven´t tried that myself, though.

If you choose the right string gauge everything should work perfectly.

You might be able to do it through some trial and error. You'll have to adjust the Dtuna somehow. I'm not familiar with how that's done, but in theory, it should work.

The D-Tuna is a pretty simple device. Here's how she works:

With the d-Tuna "sleeve" pulled out, you would ordinarily tune your string to D. The thickness of the D-Tuna is designed to be the approximate thickness to raise the pitch of that "D-tuned" string to E when the sleeve is pushed in (under the Floyd fine-tuner adjustment). Because every Floyd isn't the same, and tolerences vary, the E note may not be in perfect pitch. Because of that, the D-Tuna has a fine tuning adjustment screw (little black allen screw) on it. After you have tuned the string to D with the sleeve out, push the sleeve in, and it should be close to E. If it isn't, use the fine tuning adjustment screw on the D-Tuna to adjust it to E.

If you set your D-Tuna up with the tuning at 440 then tune down, the D-Tuna should be close, but if it isn't, just follow the same procedure with the applicable notes.

Not sure what you're asking but a dtuna will drop it 2 semitones. The tone you begin with is up to you
