not so fast angel mcveggiepants

actually that won't work. the intonation would be completely wrong. if you tune the guitar open, you'll be completely out of tune by the time you get past the 3rd fret. you may also run into trouble with the width of the slots on the nut. the one of the low e will be too wide for the high e and the string will sit low, (maybe too low) and might buzz. i would suspect (but don't actually know) that the wound string would be too wide for the hole and may occasionally pop out of position, and maybe saw their way down through the slot from repeated tunings.
