I don't think that's quite right. I know for sure that on his C6/A7 nck he had two As on the bottom, an octave apart as I saw him talking about it on a video and Chris Scruggs who was a close friend of Kayton used his tunings. This is Chris' reply to a question a few years ago on the forum.

"Hi there. Yes, I typically use the same tunings and gauges as Kayton on the same style of guitar, a Fender Dual Professional.

Inside neck, C6/A7:

E------.015
C------.018
A------.020
G------.022w
E------.030w
C#----.034w
A------.034w
A------.068w

Outside neck, F13:

F-----.015
D-----.018
A-----.020
F-----.022w
G----.030w
Eb---.034w
C----.034w
F----.056w
"

You're welcome Joe. Ely's site is a little gold mine of tunings to try. I suspect that Jeff's information above is more current, but that just gives you even more options to play with. Smile
