Since 19 inches is in the "octave mandolin" range of scale, does anyone think that a six string 19 inch scale guitar could be tuned to fifths? That is could the two extra strings be used as I could always just leave two strings off and treat it like a octave mando.

How would you do it? String gauges? Ideas, insults, inspirations?
 
number of strings is a bigger deal when it comes to large interval tuning.
 
This sort of thing?

I'd be tempted to try an all 4ths and see how easy that would be.

Still, Robert Fripp?  :headbang1:
