Guys,

I've been playing Renn Guitar repertoire on a Bari strung for Low G.

While a bari is roughly the right scale, a Renn guitar had double courses on 2, 3, and 4.

What I'm imagining is an inexpensive 8-string that could be setup with 7 strings to replicate the Renaissance without dropping 5-large on a Repro.

Any downside to dropping a string off the first course, other than having to re-cut the nut and possibly fuss with the bridge?

Thanks
