I have a Cordoba Guilele (17" scale) that I bought and slacked to an Open C tuning (G c g c' e' g') with the intent of using it as a tool to rearrange slack-key guitar tabs for the ukulele.
But picking on that thing is a beast with the strings so close together, and I'm not digging the huge wound strings. The instrument sits sad and mostly unused.
I'm thinking of switching it to a SouthCoast EFS re-entrant set and treating the instrument as a strummer, but then I'm not really interested in learning chords for standard guitar tuning. Has anyone tried slacking the Guilele EFS strings down to (d g d' g b d')? Any thoughts?
I'm always willing to throw down and test new SC sets, just checking if anyone else had tried this set-up before.
