C. for my daughter's graduation, and I'll be leaving my 12er at home (Seagull S12+). I'll be gone a week. In storing the guitar should I just leave it as is or lossen the strings?

Ususally it is the octave G. I'd leave it alone. It is no worse sitting in a case for a week then it normally would be sitting in a case for a week. *********** I've been known to play with the following: D-18 : D-18V : Backpacker : 000-28EC : D-41 : Breedlove OM-M : Gibson C-0 Classic : Martin D12-1 : and a '98 Harley-Davidson FLTR Road Glide *********** Hand me my old guitar, pass the whisky round.
