Comments
Appreciate the help, thanks
thanks for the name of this f**kin' guitar!! i was looking for this guitar too much months.. thank you!!!
Joe instead use a heavy gauge for the low E string. And the rest in .10. For "Draw The Line" its in open A tuning (E A E A C# E)
BUT!
He tunes the low E down to A for that sound.
he travels with 2 Dan Armstrong Plexi's:
1 for open A (Draw the Line, Cheese Cake, Etc.)
And another for open G
(Let the Music do the Talking, Shaking my Cage, Etc.)
Hope this helps.
