Between four and five years ago I used dropped C a lot, but ever since then I've used mostly D standard. I occasionally tune lower, but I still use standard tunings almost exclusively, because they're easier to play in, unless you only use power chords.

Don't particularly have a favourite tuning. Although, I'm not a big fan of dropped tunnings.

I've always used standard tuning, no particular reason other than having a floyd rose and being in cover bands where others also had floyd roses and everybody just showed up and checked their tuning on the same tuner and played. Just never seemed to be a reason to tune differently, especially when picking out songs all the time. I want to drop down to D sometime, see how it goes.

Standard, although sometime I'm thinking of trying Egyptian lute tuning.

Standard just about all the time. Will ocassionally tune down a step, or fuck around in Open D tuning, but I mainly use standard tuning.

I use my whammy pedal to go down a step, I'm too lazy to tune it.
