I guess he couldn't get a good steel player so he had to settle for Paul Franklin, Tommy White, or Robby Turner.

Three of the best players ever to touch the instrument!

Jeff Beck was important enough that Paul Franklin refers to him in his instructional material. That's how much his influence was!

I've never played one of his 8-strings but I had a 6-string, birch McKenna and it was monstrous. Loud, clean and clear as a bell. They're way undervalued, worth way more than Mr. McKenna was chargin ...

Thank you, Michael! Can't wait to try this tuning, it looks like single note passages would work pretty well with the E major scale tones laid out like that.
Thanks again.

Michael,

What exactly was Murphy's C#min? That's really great that you were able to get it straight from the man himself.

Bob,
Thanks for pointing that out. I meant raising string 7 from F# to G. Not string 4, that would be a bad situation!
I think I was counting 4 from the wrong end of the guitar.

Thanks for the response, Greg. Yep, I think of the standard 5 as pretty close to what you've got except for your LKV.

Right now I've got:
LKL raises the E's, LKR lower the E's, LKV lowers both B ...

What;s a good use of a 6th knee lever on your E9th neck? I'll got the standard 5 but also an inside LKL. I'm not really interested in the Franklin pedal lowers of 10, 6 and 5, I've had that on a ped ...
