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.

Does using the whammy bar on a guitar mess up the strings?
Use of a whammy bar will not damage a guitar. A Floyd Rose however does have the possibility of snapping a string because you can pull the strings tighter, maybe a Bigsby as well. Unless you're pulling up on a standard trem that hasn't been set up properly, a whammy bar won't damage the guitar.
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.
