I learned some Wilcox songs years back. The fun stuff is when you're playing chords with your fingers on both sides of a partial capo.
So the Lowden is actually pretty much able to handle any tuning with regular light strings. I was honestly amazed at the flexibility of instrument. Something about the stability of the 5 piece neck. I have never experienced it with my previous guitars, and I've owned a few really great ones.
