you can get a Hipshot, that's what you're after.
As for E tunings, personally again as with my marshall arument, i like my guitar to sound like a guitar.
A fact that not a lot of guitar players want to face is that electric guitars cover the midrange more than anything else. It's a middle-y instrument. If someone wants a low low bassy thing, maybe they should play bass, there's a big shortage of bass players, i'm sure the accordingly dormant bands of the world would be glad of it.
Again, i think it's easy to hide a multitude of sins behind something i find gimmicky. But that's for me, i don't expect anyone else to appreicate that.
More than anything else, i think it's vitally important that a band understands the spectral range of what they're doing in terms of physics as much as melodically. In a band you have a bass drum, you have a bass, the bottom end is covered. You have a snare, you have cymbals, hi hats, maybe solos, maybe a singer, the top range is covered. What's in the middle? Guitar. It'll make your band much much louder and a lot more powerful and dense a proposition to be operating some kind of full spectral dominance, where everything operates inside it's place and doesn't have to compete in another range. In particular, it makes mixing a record a nightmare, and mixing a live band like this a nightmare.
Knowing the limitations of the range of the speakers in your equipment as well is also a factor, but not one that really needs explaining.
