yeah, what he said....if you have a good ear, get used to playing out of tune, unless you want to shell out the clams for having the guitar's saddle (and nut?) compensated. Is the Buzz Feiten tuning 'system' adapted for twelve-strings as well?

With so many strings you can have lots of fun experimenting with alternate tunings...try tuning each string of the octave pair down to a perfect fifth or a perfect fourth - especially in open tuning such as DADF#AD...Leo Kotke used something like this on some of his tunes to get a really full sound.
