Question regarding Downtuning

Crossed · 12-21-2009, 10:11 PM

I've been playing guitar for about 2 years now, and i currently own an ESP H-500. Nothing special, but a decent guitar nonetheless. The problem is everytime i tune down,(even just a half step down or to D) the strings are severely loose and go out of tune very quickly. I use 11's, and my guitar does not have a floyd rose or lock in tuners. Anyone know how i can make my strings tighter to where it feels closer to standard tuning? (im pretty new to this shit...)
