I am strongly considering putting C6 set of strings on my recently acquired Blanton Single neck 4 pedal. I really don't know if the rollers on the nut of this guitar are gauged or not...will I likely have a problem with the bigger strings involved on the low end of the C6 strings? I play C6 lap steel and feel like a 4 pedal no lever guitar might be better suited to C6 than E9. This thing is so easy to configure, I can always put it back to E9th if I decide to.

Jim, try it and see. Most likely playing at the first fret will give you a lot of buzzing on some strings though.

Some aren't gauged rollers, I bet you'll be fine.

You can recognize gauged rollers: just compare the depth of the valley between 1 and 10. Many guitars don't use them anyway.
