Is open D tuning bad for a guitar?
Be that as it may, you should have no trouble keeping a guitar at open D or open G for any length of time. ... Neither of these tunings involves tuning strings higher than they would be if they were tuned to standard tuning, so you're not causing undue stress on the neck or on the saddle (if it's an acoustic guitar).
