Your thoughts...?
I’m thinking of trying my Amicus as a six string. I’d still tune it high due to the short scale. Do you know of anyone who’s done that? Any recommendation for string gauge? Can you think of a valid reason to not give it a try, e.g., adverse effect on neck relief or six strings won’t drive the top, etc?

These CF instruments are tough, so I don’t personally see why you shouldn’t give it a try.

I don't see any reason to not give it a try... but, I would think you are losing that cool 12-string/mando kinda sound... making it more like a guitalele.

I think there is a term for this particular trick like the Captain said. I think it is something like "guitalele". On the bright side it will probably stay in tune better than the wood versions.
