No it's not bad for the neck, but it makes the strings prone to rattle because they will be quite loose!. Have you tried DADGAD tuning!?
Great for Celtic tunes!.

Hope this helps

It won't break anything but you might find some frets buzz because the strings are looser and you might have to raise the action to stop it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
