Hi Barry Sain:

In general, the only difference between 10 or 12 string tunings and the 8 string tunings required for your Fender 1000 are that you loose the lower strings.

Therefore, you don't have the low notes to create fuller chords and also for single note playing.

But, don't be discouraged. I've been playing a Fender 1000 since 1964 and I gotten used to the lack of the bottom two (2) strings (when compared to a 10 string model, such as the Fender 2000).

I use an E-9th and C-6 tuning on my guitar but I tune them slightly flatter so that less strings break.

If you have any questions, please contact me at your convenience.

Regards,
