tone king, I heard that replacing the humbucker I have on my neck with a dried out loaf of bread will give me an oakier sound, is this true?

aye, seen that!

Actually when coming to think of it, my new jackson can go to drop C without a problem on standard gauge strings. plays like its in normal tuning..

But if its a fairly gash guitar i would say 10s or more likely 11s

If the guitar has a longer scale neck then it'll be able to handle lower notes easier, ie, it'll keep the tension better (ie i know Gibson use shorter scale necks than fenders )

Im assuming that'll work anyway, i know thats the case with having longer scale necks on basses ( ie 35" opposed to 34" )
