Hello everyone
I just purchased a legend 6856lx to go along with my 1717 and had a question about tuning. I have read that some folks tune there 12 strings down a step to relieve stress on the neck and use a capo if they want to play at concert pitch. Was wondering if anyone here does this with their ovations ?The guitar I purchased is in great shape and I use pretty light strings. High E is .10 would appreciate any opinions you might have. Thanks

I keep mine in standard tuning, although getting there evokes the standard 12 string joke: "How long does it take to tune a 12 string?"
"No one knows".
