Hey Dan,
Junior Brown generally uses a C13 tuning. It's just a standard 8-string C6 tuning with the bottom string tuned to a flat-7: low to high: Bb C E G A C E G. Your A6 tuning would have identical intervals to this if you tuned your bottom string up to G. |

Hi Guys,
Just to mention that I am now on my second
set of Jagwires (one set per year)and found
out last year that I can use a .014 gauge
on my top "G". This gives a thicker sound
than the former strings using only a .012
gauge without breaking.
My guitar is a Cougar D8 with a 24" scale.

For my Bakelite Rick I assemble a custom set of GHS Pure Nickel Wrap Semi-Flat Strings
I get them from JustStrings.com
http://www.juststrings.com/purenickelghsguitarsinglestrings.html
My gauges for C6 (lo-hi) .36 .30 .26 .24 .20(p) .18(p)
I use whatever plain strings are the cheapest.
