For some reason Open C's ended up becoming my standard tuning on my acoustic twelve, augmented with my newly-purchased capo for different keys. I have no idea why, but it just seems to sing on a twelve, and it's ridiculously versatile compared to most open tunings. It's pretty much the only tuning I use on my fretless these days too...

I originally got the idea from a John Butler lesson in GT (which also gave me some awesome ideas for drumming on the guitar).
