On my six string guitars I tune down either a half step or a whole step, for the string tension and just because it allows me to get a little more rumbling kind of sound. My 7 string is also tuned down a half step.

Its quite common really, a lot of shredders do it too - Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe, Joe Stump, Yngwie, etc. In fact Paul Gilbert tunes down a whole step.
