...... is what I'm going to do!
It was a choice between my roundback Tenor and my Aria Concert, so I've decided to go the less conventional route and do a 5 string Concert.
I'll detail my work / findings here, but first a couple of questions before I start :
1. I'm assuming the double G strings should basically straddle where the current single G string sits, both at the nut and the tailpiece?
2. I will have both G strings and the C string tuners on one side of the headstock (as per the Ohana), but my headstock is shaped with the widest part at the end furthest from the nut, so I'll need to deflect the high G and C strings slightly to save them fouling on the first tuner (low G) - my question is simply what sort of 'tree' or 'retainer' would be best suited?
Like I say, I'll post my work as and when I start, but any inspiration and/or pointers would be appreciated
