They'll break up a little later. But you won't really notice this at bedroom levels. Drop B? Well you're only a half step lower than me. I'm using a set of straight 11 - 49s on my 24" scale Mustang and tune to Std D. I like D'Addarios in this. I don't like the real heavy bottoms because they really do affect intonation and I don't have much room to spare on that. I'm tuned in Std D on pretty much everything. 10 - 48s on my 25.5" scales. I really won't go any lower than this in tuning. The standard scales on the guitars aren't built for them. You need a 26" scale or longer to go lower. Think about getting a baritone.</blockquote>
