Actually, it cant be a guitar tuning...starting with he little string, a regular tuning is E B G D A E.
So, your A# F C# G# D# A# doesnt make sense, each string would tuned up or down a tritone (up or down a flat fifth). Unless you have very, very fat strings, you cant go down that low.

ya... that would be drop A tuning... you would either have to have a seven string or a thick as string to make a B... without the high E... so now lets say you have B E A D G B... all you need to do now is drop the B down a step...

no no no... ignore the last one... i just realized... if you see a tuning with the same note on each E... the most likely it is standard tuning dont some odd steps... so its A tuning... B E A D G B E all down a full step... thats the tuning korn uses...
