Lots of twelve stringers tune down, form a half step to two whole steps. Lots of times it's cause it sounds cool, makes bends easier, and lowers the tension on the guitar neck.

| So, the songs on NW are mostly down one half step, are all the 12 string (which I think is all) songs on Stream also down a half step or are they standardish tuning? |

Well......I think any song that TR plays on a twelve string is tuned down half a step.

I love playing twelve strings, but I don't think I've ever played one that was tuned down. My friend always has his in standard.

I just tuned mine down half a step last night. It sounds really good, and now I don't have to be so afraid of breaking the high G-string.

I know some people that use a double g on their 12, instead of the low and high g.

Yeah......I think someone said that that's what TIM does with his 12-string Martin.
