EADGBE is concert pitch tuning for a guitar.DGCFAD is one tone lower.This would mean other instruments would have to adjust to suit,which usually is not recommended.The guitar tuned to the latter would sound ok if played by itself or with other Guitars tuned the same because it is tuned to itself.Usually when instruments play together,they are all tuned to concert pitch.

Does the tuning peg configuration affect the tone or sound of an electric guitar?

yes in the sense that you achieve different tunings , some people tune lower to achieve heavier sounds , some people tune higher for a nicer sound for say folk music or whatever. wikipedia can tell you all the guitar tunings essentially if you want to tune lower do all the strings equally EADGBE - standard E - the most common guitar tuning DGCFAD - standard D - each string is one note lower


Is there a different kind of tuner for electric guitar?

"Concert" tuning is the same on standard electric and acoustic guitars: EADGBE. No one says you can't tune either type of guitar to something else. However, there are multiple types of electric and acoustic guitars, for example: - 12-string guitar (EADGBE, then EADG high octaves and BE unison strings) - 7-string guitar (BEADGBE, or EADGBE with high-octave G) - baritone guitar (BEADGB) - tenor guitar (CGDA, DGBE and other variations) - Nashville tuning (EADGBE, but with EADG as high octaves -- basically a 12-string without the "normal" strings) - short-scale guitar (eg. Tacoma Papoose, which is tuned ADGCEA)


Is there anyway if possible to tune you top e string on guitar to an f sharp without snapping?

Yes - you could just tune it nice and slow and pray for the best (It shouldn't be a problem, but ALWAYS keep everyone (including yourself) away from the string in case it does snap. People have lost eyes.) Another approach, and this is the one that I use, is to tune the entire guitar down a half (or even a whole, sometimes) step so that instead of being tuned EADGBE you are now EbAbDbGbBbEb (or DGCFAD if you went for the whole step). Then, when you tune the top string up a whole step, you are only actually tuning it to an F (or an E if you went a whole step down) which is soooooo much easier on the strings and on your fingers.
