The last tuning I've used on my 4 string CBG before I remodeled it as a 6 string was CFAD which is DGBE but dropped down 2 frets.

I converted my 4 String CBG into a 6 String by replacing the neck & adding a Truss Rod. I had to switch over to Gypsy Jazz Strings to keep the tension down.

The 5 & 6 String Versions (and the 7 & more string versions as well) are becoming popular cause of course you get more versatility & range. If you wanted a 6 String Cigar Box Guitar with a 4 String sound, use Nashville Tuning (High strings from a 12 String set, & an Octave4Plus .006 High B).

You can tune a 6 String CBG in fifths (C, G, D, A, E, B) by using Octave4Plus 5ths Tuning Strings (Gauges 50, 44, 26, 11, 8, 6) so you can play lots of fun songs with that big of a range.

Let's expand that with 5 and 6 String Cigar Box Guitars because they're becoming more popular.

Wondering your though. If you only wanted one CBG would the 4 string fretted model give you the most versatility?
