Hi,
I wonder how many of you have tried using an A9th tuning (based on E9th but a fifth down) as an alternative to C6th? I have experimented with it and really like it. Here is a short clip of me practicing playing some swing on that tuning to a backing track with the changes to All of me.

Hey Niklas. Very nice playing. I have experimented with several similar options on the back neck. I have just ordered a new MSA Legend that will have a B9th tuning on the back neck. B9 sort of flips the pedal up and pedal down positions around in a fun way. Ex: Instead of playing Ab on the 11th fret in the A+B position, it is at the 4th fret, where it would normally be the open position.
I had an octave down E9th at one point. It was fairly unusable below the 5th fret. Sounded like a pedal steel bass. Haha.
Enjoyed your playing. Keep it up!

Thanks guys.
Travis, I like the idea of a B9th tuning and actually tried that along with G9th but settled on A9th for tone/balance on my guitar. I love C6th but have always liked the concept of having the lower tuned neck on a D10 being kind of a continuation of the front neck range-wise and not a separate tuning. Sort of like the two manuals of an organ.
Looking forward to hearing your MSA when it arrives.

Buddy Emmons Jr............A9th sounds great, how about more of your talent.
I have a buddy of mine who plays Gypsy Jazz, he's from Switzerland, plays steel also.
