Well, being a guitar player myself, I'd say it's the most common, yes,
but ofcourse not the only possibility.

\version "2.19.52"

\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"

\storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode {c/g}
                        #guitar-tuning
                        #"3-4;3-3;2-2;o;1-1;o;"

\new FretBoards \chordmode { c/g }

works here.
