Adrian Legg is a monster guitarist.. listen to this cool playing with scruggs tuners.. unreal.. The guy after him is no slouch either.. Makes me want to toss my gear in the woodstove..The tone is not great imho, I would have chosen something with a more lively sound than the Ovation, but hey,who am I to comment???.. super playing and very unique tune.enjoy... bob

The Ovation didn't sound bad, I wish I could get my D18 to sound like that  . |

Great playing. The other guitarist is Buster Jones. Bad cat in the Atkins/Reed vein.
The open tuning and the tuners were really a nice combination. Great playing. |

Adrian is a really great guitar player. I personally love the tone for what he's doing. Yeah, perhaps it wouldn't work so great playing rhythm in a "By God" bluegrass band. But he has made a fine art out of using those Scruggs b@njo tuners - all you b@njo haters, eat your hearts out. 
If you want to set up a guitar like his, read his Amsco book "Customising Your Electric Guitar", which gives most of the ideas - fluted brass nut, b@njo tuners, setting up for critical low action, and so on. I got lots of useful ideas reading that when it came out in the early 80s. He talked extensively about putting together cool electric guitars from parts fairly inexpensively at a time when not so many people were doing it. |

| Don't know if he still does, but Adrian used to use EXTREMELY light gauge strings. So he gets those major 3rd bends on the neck, as well as the Keith tuners. |

| What about Doyle Dykes? He gets some interesting pedal effects by pushing down on the strings above the nut. |
