Is there any danger of the neck twisting on my Tele if I remove the low E string like Keith. It's a maple neck Affinity. If there is no problem doing this can anyone recommend some alternate tunings for this set up I have one but am interested in exploring other options. Thanks

The best know 'keef' tuning is open G. There's heaps of info about it on the net.

Not too much risk in tuning strings down to achieve other tunings. Tuning strings too far up is another matter !

If you are worried about taking the bottom string off, leave it on and tune it down to D - works ok in open g tuning.

If you use light strings then there won't be as much tension so you can feel better about it. Personally I wouldn't worry about it, wood's pretty strong.
