Re: FS Megatar Toneweaver
That’s the same tuning I use on my sticks. I have a Ziggy tap geetaur. It has a very wide neck, like the mega tar. I prefer the stick, but hey, everyone has preferences.
Here’s a promo by Mr. Topaz, vintage 12 years ago... extolling the features of the mega tar

Re: FS Megatar Toneweaver
I just looked at a close up of your axe. It doesn’t look like the tuning you described because the fat low C is not located in the middle position. Your Megatar doesn’t look like the bass is tuned in 5ths.

Re: FS Megatar Toneweaver
Bass side strings are tuned in 4ths from low B on the outside up to C on the inside (non-inverted 4ths). Bass strings are on the players right on the fan fret model.
FYI, here are some clips showing some possibilities of this set up:
Attaching a close up picture of the label on the back of the Megatar per request.
