AGP #41 - ''Shine'' (1)

Posted by AGP # on September 25, 2013 at 6:04pm
(4 String Hub Cap Guitar) Scale: National / Dobro 635mm.Strings: .055W .044W .034W .026W. Tuning: ????.My 1st 4 stringer (all metal): 1965 Valiant Stainless Hubcap. Aluminium Neck. Aluminium Angle Bracing. Aluminium Nut & Bridge. Black Pre-Wired Pickup - with/Pots, Knobs, & Jack.Originally had it fitted with lighter strings which sounded a bit "rattly", since fitted heavier strings.I thought it would have a "tinny metal" sound, but instead sounds quite mellow with an Hawaiian Slide type feel.Having trouble finding a tuning I like, ANY SUGGESTIONS????.

    I just finished a four sting hubcap strung with the four lightest string to a light electric set tuned D-G-B-g and really like the sound!

    Looks good.   Valiant.   DGDG?    Or use a heavy guage of the 4 small strings from a 6 string set and go DGBD.   Ask James, Wes Carl or some of the lap style folks.
