Sorry about "bumping" this old thread, but I was just thinking about doing the same with my Backpacker ...
You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of the extended nut ? Did You put in a higher saddle as well ?

I've been playing around with my Backpacker tuned in open D using a brass slide ... Sounds quite "interesting", and works OK as a "couchguitar" :-) But the action needs to be a lot higher !
