I took a buddy of mine to the Camden show on Friday night, and even with the
technical problems, he was blown away by the show, particularly Marty and
his 12 string.  He has since bought one.  A 12 string, not a Marty.

He asked me to post to the list and see if anyone knows how a 12 string is
traditionally tuned.  I know there are a few variations as with the 6 string
but is there a more common of the bunch way to tune a 12?  And does anyone
know what tuning Marty uses most?

Thanks,
Carl

PS. is removing all the strings on a guitar to clean the neck or whatever
hard on the neck- and if so is it even worse to do to a 12?
