I think you'll find some VG8 experts here:

VGuitar Forums

VGuitar Forums

But I think @gumtown is a member round these parts as well and might have plenty of experience.

@hippietim will know as well.

Yeah, wasn’t that one of its big selling points? I seem to remember Joni Mitchell being involved.

 

[Fraser]

Yeah, thanks HomespunEffect and for the pointers from you other guys. Joni Mitchell used over 50 tunings with a prototype so fingers crossed

 

[JiveTurkey]

VG8 provides alt tunings so it should be doable. Unless I am missing something.

You will need a GK pickup to take advantage of the retuning feature.
