My jackson warrior is set up to A standard with a floyd. I set it up myself, it took a bit to do but it can be done. Just be ready to spend some time devoting to getting it right.

Re: anyone have experience with low tunings and floyds
I just figured you were drunk.
mine go more like 13-72 or 74. It's been awhile since i changed them so I guess I need to get on that.

Do you have an older Floyd or newer? Thought that was a huge no no to run big strings with the older ones. Also I wish I was drunk when I posted that

Re: anyone have experience with low tunings and floyds
ehh not sure actually I got the guitar back in early 2000's. So it's probably a newer one. But I have an 80's jackson with thicker strings I have tuned to C and I don't even have the locking nuts on it and it stays in tune perfectly.

I've gotten up to a 100 [Bass E strang 
] to work in a floyd [though I had to mod it a bit] on a old Jackson floyd, and I am running a 72 on one right now. The trouble you might run into is the nut, if it is a normal floyd locking nut you might need to get some longer screws for the locking plate thingys, on a kahler you will have to drill out where the string passes through but neither are big deals to do.
