I will try my DADGAD repertoire down low. I’m in a trio where I play backup on guitar, Mandolin, and Weissenborn.
I am going over which tunes could use the lower registers.
Someone’s custom order no doubt.
Tuned down to G. I’ve made it to B with my Dread Cutaway.
Ships out Monday.

Negotiations are in my favor…Gigs in California were starting up again. Then the Delta variant started to defy vaccinations. The band Grateful Shred played to a full house in Felton, up the road from the Mother Temple.
In spite of vaccinations, the entire band got Delta sized.
I have/had a NYE gig here. 30 minutes as an opener. I’ve been writing surf inspired instrumentals. The venue owner told me that advance ticket sales ground to a halt due to the rise of infections. I already bought tix for Los Lobos and Sierra Hull.
We shall see how it goes.
At Sylvan in Santa Cruz I played 22 different SCGC guitars.I loved 2 of them. One was all Mahogany, the other was EIR with a Redwood top.
I hear a certain sound and respond to it. I played an all Mahogany SCGC a few days later that is still screaming, ” BUY ME!”
In that same store was a Bourgeois/Schoenberg OMC that was screaming the same 2 words.
Compare the Janis Ian and PJ. I see they are both listed together in Date Your Guitar. I played an all Mahogany PJ that was spectacular.
My Dread Cutaway was about $1,900 new. The Brazilian, Cutaway, and Brazilian binding added to the base price. Today it would cost me $19,000 to replace
