"Hi Erik,
Would you let me know the sting gauges you use on your baritone. I noticed an older post you made (Pat Metheny) and you mentioned tuning up the 3rd and 4th strings an octave higher. Thanks"

I got your e-mail to the group - I haven't heard the term "Nashville Tuning" in a baritone guitar context - "Nashville Tuning", as I understand it, is when one replaces the four lowest strings on a six-string with the four octave strings from a 12 string set.
