Thank you Joseph for such a fast reply. Do you have any idea of suitable gauges for the strings? Regards,

well I would guess you could get by with a E9th set of string all you are doing is taking the B on the E9th and making it the 6th note for E and thats C# I have a E13th tuning for a 8 string but not sure what you would do with the other 2 strings the 8 string E13th is g#,e,c#,b,g#,e,d,b. Bob that owns the forum give me that tuning for my 8 string and it is a very nice tuning, the gauges for that 8 string set up from top to bottom is 012,015,018,020,024,030,034,038 again that leave two out.

tbhenry, were you asking about changing over from the older C6, which had the top G, as opposed to the newer which uses a top D? If so, make that top string a B.
