Hi Everyone! New to the forum, awesome to have a resource like this full of knowledgeable people with a similar (dare I say "niche") interest.
I know very little about music theory, and I was wondering if it would be possible to down tune a tenor guitar to match C Standard guitar tuning?
There are three main considerations for me here:
1) Will it sound terrible?
2) Will it damage the guitar in any way?
3) Will it require customization to the nut to allow for bigger strings?
I'm a violin player, but bought the electric tenor as a hack to me learning guitar (I know, I know) so that I could play metal and heavier guitar music in a band (bonus points if you know Sleep or High on Fire - that's what I'm currently trying to play along to!)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
**Please no "you should have bought a regular guitar" comments, I've had plenty of those from guitar playing friends already. I bought this to be different and bring something new to the table, I embrace the challenge of figuring out how to make it work in the ways I need it to
Thanks!
