i'm gonna start learning machine head's aesthetics of hate and i just want to know the tuning. thanks.

im using regular 10-42 light gauge strings on my edge pro bridge but i bought a set of ernie ball heavy bottom skinny top 10-52. im guessing il have to change the tension on each string but seeing as i havent done it before i dont know how to change the tension...so how do you do it? thanks

if i didnt make it clear i do actually want your opinion on which i should get out of the two reply please!

I was wondering whether to change the pickups in my ibanez to EMGs or not. however first i would like to know if they are good pickups and i also heard that i would have to have a hole cut in my guitar is this true?? by the way im not wanting to change them to emgs coz trivium have put them in their deans just so some of you understand that... trust me i thought of this long before they changed. thanks.

what does everyone think of this guitar, is it a good metal guitar? i did look into dean but from what i've heard they rnt worth all the money you pay and are quite flimsy.
