Truthfully for the type of tuning you use you really should have gotten a baritone guitar. I know (believe me on this) sometimes it's hard to pass up a good deal on a guitar. I would have saved my pennies a little longer and got one of the new Ibenhad(oops I mean...Ibanez :) ) baritones they got. Or even a Schecter. You'll find with the guitar you bought that tuning down that low will make for sloppy strings. The longer baritone neck would have compensated for that.
