This is cool. I've never heard of this before.

The most famous example of it I know of is in the Stones' "Wild Horses."

 

I have not found the time to hunt down extra strings and restring to try it though.

It's habit forming. Poor mans twelve string...

D'Addario sells a set of "Nashville Tuning" strings if you're looking for a cheaper way to make a set. It's a bit cheaper than getting the individual strings.

 

Here's the actual name of the set:

 

D'Addario Phosphor Bronze - Nashville Tuning (10-27) EJ38H

Is this always done with an acoustic, or are there instances of electric guitars with Nashville tuning?

Couldn't you just put a Capo on the top 4 stings, on the 2nd fret?

Nashville tuning is still standard tuning (E, A, D, G, B, E), just different octaves, so the capo thing wouldn't work in this case.
