how low do you want to tune? is this your first guitar? if so, i dont reccomend getting any thing other than a standard six string, but if it isnt, maybe a 7 or a baritone? esp makes lots of sevens and baritones as well as sixs. so does ibanez... check those ones out.

for c standard and thick strings you might want to either disable the flayd style trem or get it adjusted.

Any guitar can. They will all need adjustments though.

all i can say is you're best just going out and trying the ones that interest you, even if they're slightly out of your price range.... then find one that's used but in new condishion...
it's foolish not to.... could save you same big bucks...
