Best way to know for sure would be to ask but I think it is:
F
D
A
G
Eb
C
A
F
(Boggs E13th, but tuned up to F)
A6th, I believe tuned up to Bb
and I think I remember the other neck being Vance Terry E13th, not sure if tuned up or not.
E
C#
B
G#
F#
D
B
G#
---
So basically like Vance Terry's three tunings on his own Custom, but tuned up a half step (perhaps for jazzier flat keys using open strings?) |

| Hey Ryan, did you try looking him up on Facebook? Probably the easiest way to reach him. I can pass the question along if you’re not able to. |

I can look him up, didn’t want to bother him but he might not mind. As for the tunings I know about those two posted above but he plays a triple neck and was wondering what was the 3rd tuning.
Thanks |

| Can’t seem to message on Facebook for some reason, might have to be friends with him for it to work |

On my Lapsteelin' blog, years ago I did a 4-part interview/conversation with Lee and I can't recall if he gives his tunings, but it's worth a read anyway. There's also a few other interviews there, like Jeremy Wakefield and Don Rooke, for the newbies (man, these are from like 10+ years ago).

| Great interview thanks! Yah Lee Jeffriess really does shine on those early big sandy recordings and the Handful of stuff I can find of the west coast ramblers is even more my bag. |

Ok, here's what I have on my T8 (Hi to Lo)
front neck D13 F# D B A F# E C A
Middle neck A6 E C# A F#E C# A F#
Rear neck E9 E B G# F#D B G# E
Recently I have also been experimenting with Ray Noren's B#11? G# E C# A F# Eb B f (last string is a half step above the 2nd string) It is a goldmine as is his 13!(32165397b)
I also have a Clinesmith D8/9 on its way. The front neck is the 8 string and it will be tuned E9 with split Isaacs changes. The rear neck is G# E C# A F# E C# A F#.
