If you have a I, II and V tuning repeated,
E G# B E G# B
you can make one note a F#
Or make one note a D for a Dom7,
then another the F#
basically find a note you can LOSE and tune it up or down.
For suggestions check this page

G9 Tuning:
G B D G A D
So drop it back 2 whole steps
F#9 Tuning:
F# A# E G# C# E
drop this back a whole step
This one is hip
E13 Tuning:
B D E G# C# E

I believe the common name for ‘this tuning’ is C#m7: B-D-E-G#-C#-E

E13 got it direct from Brad's page of steel.
http://www.well.com/user/wellvis/tuning.html
E13 Tuning:
<font face="monospace" size="3"><pre>
E octave
C# VI
G# III
E I
D dom7
B V
</pre></font>
and in comparison
E13 Tuning: (as used by Leon McAuliffe)
<font face="monospace" size="3"><pre>
E G# D F# G# B C# E
I III VIIb II /9 III V VI octave </pre></font>
I might consider it a E6 also, but it was labled E13.
I guess be cause it was a contraction for Leon's 8 string E13

Jonathan check out the link I posted to Brad's tunings sight.
TONS of tunings there.
Basicall try a bunch of them, eventually something will just slap you in the face and say
PLAY ME!
I just put that E13 / E6, by whatever name, on the Supro 6, it is hip.
It doesn't sound terribly 6ish to me, but it does have many good pockets for chords that work logically like a C6. But it also seems a very different animal, not like a C6 tuned up two steps.
Johnathan, one good suggestion is
try to find the root I, V and III note of which every tuning you use, on each string.
At that [point you can block out a
I IV IV I , VI II V I blues ( in C ; C F C G, A D G C )
You should then have a pretty good handle of what chords build with which voicings on the tuning you're using.

I agree with b0b, leave it at an E7th. My laps are tuned to E7th which is low to high: B D E G# B E. By just retuning the 1st string to D and the 3rd to G you get a nice G6th tuning for swing things. Also doing that, the 1st three strings are the same as a Dobro G tuning and you can do a lot of dobro stuff on it....JH
