I don't go as low as you may want to, but my Takamine flat-top is

with a 0.65 bass string (I've even used a 0.80) as 6th that I tune
as low as
Bb. You may first try with two bass strings and see if you like it
before
comitting to a new guitar.
Muchas gracias, Patricio. What modifications did you have to make to
your Takamine to get the new strings to work? Any problem with the
neck twisting? One possibility would be to convert a twelve string
to the 2 string bass, 6 string guitar or to an alto guitar.
Another option would be a 7 string guitar.
Not quite low enough, I'm afraid.
Yet another option would be to use a Roland VG8 processor, which,
IMHO,
will please you a lot more than a Midi Guitar, since you'll be
working with
the guitar as a sound source, rather than a synthesizer.
Too expensive for me, I'm afraid!
Cheers,
