I just thought of this tuning last night, and was wondering if anyone's ever tried it...
C F Bflat Eflat G C F
Just C Standard with a high F on the top...use an eight or a nine gauge string for the high F and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work!
I know the 'extra high string' idea's been around for a while; didn't Wes Borland use unison C#s on the top of his seven? Of course, the infamous Maestro Alex Gregory apparently mananaged to make a High A seven string, but I doubt that's going to be practical on a normal guitar (his had some sort of special arrangement on the headstock to stop the high A being put under too much tension...I also heard he used a 6 gauge string on top!).
Anyone else thought about this concept?
