To give credit where credit is due, I believe that Johnny Lowebow of Tennessee makes Lowe Bowes with this or similar tuning and a double dowel neck and hot pickups.I am a make my own guy and this is my take on a build with this tuning.

Never played by Robert Johnson.If you want to hear it, there is a video up.

    Thanks guys.   I used the A string from a bass to go with AAEA tuning or GGDG tuning.   Check out the sound on the vid.
