Default Nashville Tuning --- Anyone?

Has anyone here ever tried or used the Nashiville tuning described in the latest Wood and Steel on their Taylor?

If so did you have to make any truss rod adjustments?

I have tried it on a 514CE and a Baby M... neither needed adjustment. 5 minutes ago I was playing my high Baby... sounds like angels singing! This is what the Baby was made for...

Yea jeepster -- you could not help but notice in the article they talked about it from a stanpoint of using a baby to do it

but from a recording standpoint it sounded really interesting ---

what strings do you use?

Do I understand correctly that you just tune up one octave the everything but the high e and b string (1st and 2nd string)

I think you actually have to reduce the tension on the neck if you do the Nashville tuning. I says what to do in the article.
