I'm pimping CruzTone steels again. I love 'em.
They're tone monsters. Check it out.

Thanx man. The tuning is just an A6 with a 7th on the bottom. Bottom up it's G,A,C#,E,F#,A,C#,E. Just like Jr Brown's tuning except tuned down to A. It has a bit more gravitas in that key. It's not as deep harmonically as the Murph C6/A9 tuning cause it only has one tri-tone interval whereas Murph's tuning has two - but it's close and a little less tricky to play.
Yeah I'm telling you CruzTones are a force to be reckoned with. And of course just like Fenders and Rickenbackers they're made right here in California....
