Does Schaffer always tune his guitar ½ step down?

I'm asking because on almost every tab I've found with IE the guitar is tuned ½ step down. Or is it because the person that tabbed the song tuned his/her guitar down ½ step.

As far as I know, all of his songs are down 1/2. Some guys just do this, because it feels more natural to them. It's probably something he doesn't even think about anymore.

As far as I know, there are only two Iced Earth songs that are not tuned to Eb.
1. Winter Nights (Track 5 of Disc 1 of Days of Purgatory) which is E
2. Electric Funeral (Track 4 of Melancholy EP) which is D
