Yes, you can given you have a bolt on neck guitar. The key is to buy a conversion scale neck to turn the 25.5 inch scale into (usually) 27 inches. A good place to get one of those is at warmoth.com You will also need to fix the intonation of your guitar to match the new scale and lower pitch.

∙ 12y agoProbably. That would be just like tuning a standard guitar a step up. That is a lot of stress on the neck and even if it doesn't cause damage (which I doubt it wouldn't) you're going to have to adjust the truss rod a bit just to keep the neck straight. I wouldn't risk it.

What drop B tuning is on the guitar?
Drop B means that the guitar has been detuned from standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-e) to a lower pitch tuning where the bass string is now a B rather than an E, resulting in a tuning of B-F♯-B-E-G♯-C♯. It is unusual for standard 6 string guitars to be tuned in this manner because the lower you tune a guitar, the thicker the strings need to be in order to maintain a sufficient level of string tension (hence why bass guitars have very thick strings). Drop B tuning may be found on a baritone guitar or a 6-string bass such as the Fender Bass VI.

How do you put your guitar in e major tuning?
Putting your guitar in Emaj tuning is the same as tuning all the strings so that when strummed open, will produce an E major chord. To do this you would want to tune with A string up a full step to a B, the D string a full step up to an E and the G string a half step up to G#. The strings should be E B E G# B E. The easiest way to do this would be to purchase a chromatic tuner which can be programmed to tune to any tuning. Doing this by ear would be a bit more difficult. Tune the A string off of the seventh fret of the E string (B). Then tune the D string off of the fifth fret of the newly tuned A string (E). Then tune the G string off the fourth fret of the newly tuned D string (G#). Now you're in Emaj tuning, congradulations! Hope I helped!
