Well, I went out and got me a set of Elixirs light gauge to put on my poor fractured F-412. While restringing, I noticed the bridge is also lifting up, so I tuned down to D.
I'm having a little trouble playing it. It's not the action, exactly, it's more like the strings are positioned weird. For instance, the high E strings are way too close to the edge of the fretboard, so my pinkie finger slips off the end if I'm not careful. And perhaps this is a problem with the nut, but the strings are way far apart toward the sound hole, but very close together as you get closer to the nut.
Anyway, I managed this sound clip. Forgive the tuning; the strings are new and I don't think I can do any better right now:

Gold star to whomever names the tune.
Thanks to everyone,
