just dont do it!

Tuning between E and B is firstly not good for your strings, but more importantly, will make it near impossible to have your guitar accurately intonated. So even if you spend ages on tuning it, its still gonna sound out of tune, isnt it. Buy a guitar and have it set up to play in a dropped B tuning.

I wont even go into using different gauge strings for this ridiculously low tuning, other than saying it is most probably entirely necessary.
