Thread Name: Open C tuning - slack strings?
Subject: RE: Open C tuning - slack strings?
Here's another vote for Malcolm Newton at Newtone Strings. I use his 'C' sets and they are my usual gauges (12 - 54) but with heavier cores in the wound strings, so they feel exactly like a standard set in standard (EADGBE) tuning. And they don't put any additional stress on the neck or have that 'sloppy twangy' sound either.
