Down tuning is ideal with les pauls because they have "tuno-matic" bridges. They stay in tune. You might need to tighten your trus rod a little if you tune down to B, but you should be ok regardless. Your neck might bow a little though. Why'd you get the Paul? Did you see those pictures of Peter Tagtren with his too? I saw him live and I must say his sound was remarkable! HYPOCRISY!!!

Yeah go here http://nuclearblast.de/entry.html then you to bands then Hypocrisy then news. The picturs are linked in the first sentance.
I like the EMG 81. I have them on my jackson and they sound great. I would shop around a bit more before you make that kind of investment though.

not without a significant degree of tech work/routing you wont. It'll either be a monster pain in the ass or quite expensive.
On the other hand, there are a couple of options with non-locking units. Bigsby makes a few models that would be compatible with an LP, and there's this thing on stewmac.com: http://www.stewmac.com/cgi-bin/haze...atalog/sku.html
