Hi All,

I can't seem to find anything about this, so I thought I'd ask here.  My first and only build has been tuned to E5 using the EAD strings.  I found that it sounded best this way (perhaps my background with bass).  However, I've been experimenting with other tunings (EBD, EBG#).  

What I'm wondering, before I go out and buy some new strings, is it possible to use the D, B, and High E string to tune to EBE?  In essence, skipping the G string.  My music teacher has told me that the higher strings will have more distinct tone if I desire to play triads and not power chords.  Thanks for any feedback! -Will
