I keep one of my Teles strung with "light baritone gage" strings (D'Addario, can't remember which ones) that are 0.013" to 0.062" and tune to C or C-open, four frets below standard. Does not take any special adjustments of truss rod, little or no tweaking of bridge saddles. Sometimes it's the surf green one, sometimes it's the black one, very easy to switch back and forth.
