mark skinner Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I just pulled the silk and steel strings off of an old Aria Pro II acoustic that can no longer handle the tension of regular strings. I restrung it with a Nashville set (high strung) put a capo on the 2nd fret and a partial capo on the 4th fret (shub covers a,d,g strings) creating a raised dadgad tuning without having to lower these slinky strings. The sound and voicings are "FANTASTIC". Hope to record with it soon.. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Nashville tuning is awesome for layering. I went out and got myself a Squier Strat just for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeringAmps Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I converted a Sigma 000-18 to Nashville tuning several years back. Love the top end "shine" this adds when layered. all those unwound strings can challenge a set of "not well maintained" calluses tho... t 13 minutes ago, mark skinner said: never tried tried it with an alternate tuning You guys with your altered tunings, you're killin' me! I struggle enough with open E and A... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
