Anders Eliasson -> RE: down tuning a high tension guitar? (Feb. 15 2013 16:12:29)

You wont be doing any harm to the guitar, but you´ll have problems if you want to play with others.
So you put Corum Alianza HT on a high tension guitar... Then, what doyou expect? That high e string from the alianza HT is extremely tense and hard on both hands and fingers. Yes it sound impressive, but the sound IMHO is not very flamenco. Its very ringy, sustains and very little percussive. Its a string that is typically used to make classical guitars project. But very few classical players can actually play with it.
Its the typical string that makes aguitar sound impressing and makes the player sound worse than he/she is.
The Alianza trebles are also typically used to make a dull sounding guitars sound lively. Its done a lot when a guitar is for sale. When I worked in a shop i changed a lot of nylon trebles to Alianza trebles for that exact reason
