I tried a number of gauges of strings for the high E and all broke before getting to E. In my experience, I do not believe it is possible given the current design. Welcome any other opinions and explorations. Capo on the second fret for me :-)
@Fixedgear60

And here I am three years later thanking you for saving me the trouble!

How do you manage A with the capo on 2? My fingees don't all fit!
