Does the EVH drop d tuning system only work on guitars with whammy bars?
doubt it but I've seen a drop tuning system on fixed bridge Ibanez guitars, when I play the low E string turn it half way or a quarter of the way depending on how thick your strings are and see if it works. I've never owned a D tuna and never will because of this.

Can you put a whammy bar on any electric guitar?
Conceivably you can put a whammy onto any electrice guitar, but it in reality it is a lot of trouble of modification to do so. Answer: You can really only put a whammy bar on a guitar that has a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. Most Ibanez guitars come with these standard, although some Fender/Squier guitars have a bridge similar to a Floyd Rose, but only whammy bars made by the Fender will fit in the hole. (at least what I've tried) And it is possible to set up a Floyd Rose on any guitar or bass, it just takes a lot of work, and a lot of knowledge because there are some vital parts in a guitar that you might not know what they're there for, so seek some professional help if you are a little uneasy about modifying your instrument.
Should you put a whammy bar on your Gibson Explorer?
If you really need it go for it but remember there's whammy bars that don't require cutting any wood or seriously modifying the guitar to make a whammy bar work... Kahler, Bigsby Stetsbar or something like that. I'd say go with a Jackson or Agile if you really want a explorer with whammy bar, Agile is one of the only companies I know that can go toe to toe with Gibson on quality and sound... just I could buy three maybe four Agiles for the price of one Gibson Explorer. LTD is another brand that make incredible guitars and I've played it all.... no exhaggeration I've owned 17 guitars and I'm not a rich person I buy, sell and repair.
How do you attach a whammy bar to an SG guitar?
Only some electric guitars can have a whammy bar attached. On the side of the bridge (the bridge is the part that has the strings attached to it on the bottom half of the guitar) locate a small hole. Put the part of the bar with the twist on/off bit in the hole and tighten it. Don't push down too hard on the bar, as it may damage the bridge/body of the guitar. When putting the guitar in a bag or case, remove the whammy bar.

Why can't you use acoustic guitar strings on an electric guitar?
In general, they're thicker gauge and under higher tension. ================== Also, acoustic guitars are much shorter, so there's less room to move. It's like trying to bend a string that's close to the nut or the bridge.
Why were the first electric guitars called fry pans?
Back when acoustic guitars needed to be amplified by way of adding a microphone to its body, it only needed to amplify the sound the hollow body made. When the electric guitars were developed, they eliminated the need of a hollow body for the reverberation and implemented a "fry pan" design to amplify a signal through an outward facing metallic dish. When the pick-ups improved in technology, the need for a reverberating pan was eliminated in most of the newer electric guitars, though it is still made for the Dobro as it produces a unique tinny sound.
Can acoustic guitars be tuned with electric guitar tuners?
Only if the tuner has a built-in microphone, or if the acoustic guitar has a pickup which can be plugged into a tuner that only has an input jack instead of a microphone.
What is the difference between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar?
There are many differences:An electric guitar can be plugged into an amp, while an acoustic guitar can't.An acoustic guitar has a completely different sound. It produces it sound through natural sound amplification while an electric guitar uses electronic pick-ups as well as an electronic amplifier to produce its sound.Acoustic guitars are always hollow, while the majority of electric guitars are solid.An acoustic guitar is much more portable because it is lighter and doesn't need a heavy amp to produce sound.Acoustic guitars are generally larger in size. They require a larger body to produce their amplified sound. The sound the acoustic guitar produces is much more dependent on the body size, types of wood used and shape of the body than the electric guitar is.Electric guitars are generally designed with slimmer necks/bodies and have easier access to higher frets.Also, if you want an acoustic sound while also being able to make it louder, you can attach a pick-up to it to make an electric-acoustic guitar or you can just buy an electric-acoustic guitar from the start.
