But looking around the inter net proves me wrong again. F#,B,E,A,D,G,B,E Here is an interesting suggestion... "B-E-A-D-G-B-E-A...............This gives you a high A on top and a low B on the bottom. – user3419 Dec 23 '12" But you would need a thin string like an Octave G string for your high string -- .008" or so. I have enough trouble with standard tuning on 6-strings.
