O.k.. so now I wonder if maybe we're on different pages where instrument names are concerned... I suspect i'm the one who's out to sea, so lemme start again...

I have this wee 4 stringed instrument... made by harmony... and they call it a tenor guitar... it measures very nearly 58cm from nut to bridge... I'd like to tune it to GDAE... when I tried a 33ish string as the G then tension was getting really high as I neared E, so I don't think it's gonna make it to up to G... and taking the G down the octave on that string is WAY too sloppy to be playable....

Any other suggestions for a guy who may be in over his head?
