Re: Octave Mandolin or Tenor Guitar tuned GDAE?
You should play both and wait for any one of them speaking to you. You must like the tone to make it work.
Some call the sound of paired strings "rich", others call it "muddy". So you see that words won't help you decide. Playing will.
I am clearly in the "rich" camp and even like wet tuning, so an acoustic TG would do nothing for me. I do have an electric TG, though (mainly for silent practising), but a high-gain compression amp setting gives me all the richness I need on that one (both here).
