Well, I've heard that keeping an acoustic 12-string tuned to DGCFAD (or I guess that's dD gG cC fF AA DD , isn't it? [Linked Image]) keeps it from being overstressed. I've also heard people say, though, that with a high-quality guitar it doesn't matter, that you can tune 'em right up. I'd suggest taking the Fender to a good acoustic guitar repairman and ask what they think. I don't think tuning it "low" will hurt, though.
