CeeJay, I have assumed that a Nashville tuned (high-strung) guitar is also re-entrant. Mine has the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th strings an octave higher than standard and the 2nd and 1st strings the same as standard.
You're right CeeJay. The high-strung guitar is not often used as a solo instrument, but if we have a situation where there are 3or 4 guitars, it can add some variety if one person grabs the high-strung. I discovered high-strung tuning from the liner notes on a Nicolette Larson LP over 35 years ago. Believe it or not, it took about 5 years before I realised that I could buy a 12-string set and split it between a regular tuned guitar and a high-strung.
Here's a little video to show you what it sounds like. Keef Richards has said that he's "putting a little angel dust on this track" when he plays a high-strung.
That has a cool sound and now I watch the video I do recall seeing a "How to Video" of recording techniques. The guy recorded a standard tuned guitar . Strummed a few chords and then demonstrated how to create a brighter sound by recording a Nashville strumming the same chords over the original recording and it did brighten the guitar. Excellent video mate ,thanks for the demo.You're right CeeJay.

Jim: Loved your "Keef" reference!
CeeJay: What's a "sweety"?
