Tuning On Eclipse 12-String

[paul p]

Any thoughts on tuning a '98 Eclipse 12? ...specifically, would you recommend keeping it tuned to octave or 1/2 step down? I'm using D'Addario EXL150's (.010-.046)?

Thanks.

I tune mine to full pitch without any issues, but I've tuned others one full step down

Your Eclipse was designed to be played at standard pitch just like every other 12 string guitar. You will not hurt anything using medium gauge strings and normal tuning.
