I notice that most cbg's use open g or d tuning from what have been reading . what about open E, any suggestions ? So far I have only built 3 string cbg's.have them tuned to D and G. thanks

Clockwork, thanks for the info. I'll try them out. the drone tuning's sound interesting.

ADF#, derived from the open D tuning D(ADF#)ad. Gce, derived from a C major tuning common in the Carribean, gGccEe, usually using three sets of paired strings,as with the Cuban tres guitar, but here trimmed downed to three strings. DGd/Dgd, a form of open D tuning encountered in Asia and the Middle East. Also, you might try a "drone" tuning: Daa, Cgg, AEe, Ebb,GDD, etc...

in the last few days I have started to pay some CBGs in tunings a few tones flatter than normal to give a fat and warm sound.
