Tuning low E up to G.. Any risk to guitar

[guitar344]

You should get it up there easily even with medium's You have to get up to a C,C#or even D to break it. The guitar should be okay if it's one string tuned up. That said I'd recommend custom or extra light.

Except when you want to play in Open C, surely.

I have had one neck reset. I am too cheap to risk another.
Would this work on a guitar?

Or do they make one for a guitar?

Or buy a cheap quick grip capo and saw off 5/6 of the top so it would only clamp on the e string

I tune down to CGCGCE. (except for the 2nd string, which goes up a step.)
