| I know this sounds silly.... Has anyone ever had a doubleneck guitar with E9 on front and E7 on the back neck? |

Why??
Lower your 2nd string a half and you have it on your E9 |

I agree. The two tunings just don't seem different enough to warrant having both on one guitar. I'd sooner throw a lever, and if you wanted a doubleneck like that, make 'em identical, so you have a spare if you break a string.
And both Chuck Campbell and Robert Randolph can get all Nashville on their guitars when they want to.

I can't see any reason this wouldn't be a viable alternative. Particularly if someone doesn't play C6 on the rear neck. That would be a lot better than just covering it up with a towel.
Adding the low E notes and getting that F# out of the open tuning would open it up to big power chords and 7th runs which are heavily used in rock and blues. |

I'd just add a lower to the "Tommy White" 1st and 2nd raise, pulling 7 down to E, giving you a fat strummable E7.

I can see the tuning that b0b posted in this thread as opening the tuning up nicely for rock and blues stuff. It's quite a different feel and color from standard E9th and you have 2 separate dedicated tunings without having to mess with either one on the same string pulls. http://bb.steelguitarforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=242437 JMO.
There are a lot of things one can do. Depending on the player's needs and use one is as valid as another, it seems to me. |

To be honest that's the tuning I was looking at |
