I came up with the F C G C F A D.But I want to have the low 3 string for octave playing(meshuggah style) and the top 4 for some hacktivist-ish style chords.
Don't mind powerchordish octaves(like in standard tuning)or with barre(like drop tuning).Also some interesting chord shapes for the dark sounding chords hacktivist uses.(For the double Drop F tuning)

I tuned my 7 to (all flats) G D G D G B D, and it sounded awesome. Chords sounded absolutely massive.

I came up with a tuning on holiday last year for drop F on a 7 that was F C F C F A D. Just my 2 cents :3 try it, it's pretty cool

A standard. occasionally drop G and B standard. A standard is my favorite tuning by far, currently.

D standard with a low A on the seventh string. I guess that's called A standard? Oh well, it was natural for me, because we always used D standard in my band before we moved up to sevens!
