I tend to like the long scale gits too Ted, although my last few were of the normal scale. I tune the D strings in DAD, AEA or GDG mostly. Any 1-5-1 tuning will work for the most part. Thanks so much for your kind comments, I appreciate it!
Thank you very much for the string infomation. I have never tuned a CBG in D before. it has all ways been in G. I will give it a try. I have a few string gagues laying around that are close or the same. But it's good to know Gitty has them. I like the Long scales CBGs, I think the long scales sound better. I was checking out some of your pics last night. Maddog, man can you build them, and photograph them to. Great works of Art.!!!
