Hello. Has anyone set up their 4 string special for BEAD tuning? I’m kinda curious if this’ll work without having to file the nut and if the thicker B string gauge will work fine on the bridge

The bridge is no problem, but youll need to file the nut. The overall tension on the neck will be slightly reduced and youll need to adjust for that, cuz youve removed a high tension string and added a low tension string.
