Well, I was horsing around and took out the old Ibanez and tuned it for a little Nashville Tuning. For those that are not familiar with Nashville Tuning, it's a trick used for acoustic guitar. Take the octave strings from a set of 12 strings and string up your six string. It's a trick used to make your 6 sting sound like a 12 strings. If you have an extra acoustic doing nothing, get a $3.00 set of Light Gauge 6 & 12's strings. Use the normal high E & B string from the 6 pack and put them in their normal position. Then take the unwound strings from the 12 pack and finish up. The low E will be using a wound string from the 12 pack. Here's the sizes you need, High E to Lo E:
E 10
B 14
G 9 (or 10)
D 12
A 18
E 27 (or 30)(wound)
In this Requiem For A Summer Rain, the Nashville Tuned guitar is dead center. (I didn;t really mess with the mix, so you'll probably hear a thump or two.

Enjoy. And be sure to try out that setup on an extra ax.
