Thread Name: hurt my guitar to tune it a step high?
Subject: RE: hurt my guitar to tune it a step high?
To correct the record, McGrath, I did not suggest that.
The shorter guitar I mentioned (GO-GW with 24.5" string length) uses higher tension strings, recommended by the maker, which I keep at concert pitch (440-A), as he also recommended. I do not ever, in any way, at any time recommend tuning a guitar above concert pitch. Ever!
Like everyone else here says, use a capo.
