I'm doing a solo acoustic thing now and was wanting something to do my lap songs on without taking the Dual 6 or buying something new. I put a nut raiser thing on my Baby Taylor, changed a few string gauges and WOW! A little neck heavy but it sounds and plays great.

| Here's a quick and dirty sample of my converted Baby Taylor. It'll do till I can afford what I really want( a Premium Curly Koa, Rope Bound Iseman will do real nicely). http://youtu.be/B7lAogVOOTQ |

I did something similar with an old Egmund 3/4 size guitar I have. Mine is tuned in open G. Doesn't sound like the taylor of course. What tuning is that and what string gauges are you using?

I came up with this tuning a while back. Not sure what the tuning is called, I know it's a variation of something. I use this tuning on the far neck of my Dual 6 with open D on the close neck. They work real well with each other.
low to high it's D - G - D - A - D - E and the string gauges I have are:
47 - 39 - 32 - 24 - 21 - 16 |
