I like that tuning and string relationship a lot. I use GDGB and sometimes a step higher. That thumb wrap on the big string makes a nice sound. A very good sounding guitar.

Hi Greg, I guess it's just what I've grown used to saying. But yes the tuning can also be referred to as Open Bb.
Just curious on nomenclature... Why do you call your tuning Open A#, rather than Open Bb?
B flat major notes would be Bb C D Eb F G A (only two accidentals)
A sharp major notes would be A# B# (same as C?) C## (same as D?) ... this is giving me a headache.
Your chord voicings are very helpful, but I'm stuck on the sharps and flats.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Uncle John. This tuning is a lot of fun.
