GUEST,Bluesman James	Leadbelly's strings (40)	RE: Leadbelly's strings	20 Mar 09
According to "The Twelve String Guitar as played by Leadbelly" - Pete Seeger and Julius Lester, Leadbelly tuned his guitar two octaves below to "C" He also had his octave strings G,D,A,E two octaves apart. I believed he used heavy gauge strings. Remember he was playing an old Stella that was not as well reinforced as today's guitars (Guild - double truss rods)
