Hawiian tuning?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Knotlenny Aug 2, 2010. 7 Replies

Can anyone tell me what the notes for Hawiian tuning are? also, which numbered strings from a set would sound the best for that. I'm making a 3 string for a friend n i think she would enjoy that…Continue

Hi Tim:  Yes, your guitar is getting great reviews, well deserved I might add, and I am pleased that you chose me to lay down the lines and art for you to turn into one of the most creative pieces I've seen on the CBN.  It was a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to another go-round when you're ready.  If anyone you know wants special pinstriping or art, send them my way, or to my blog.

Tim: Email me at... jandrallred@msn.com...I have some pinstriping information which may be of help if you're still interested in persuing it, there's no reason to bore folks on this site with details non-related to CBGs. Jess

Tim:

Let me noodle some ideas around and I'll get back to you. In the meantime, Diane (Chicago) builds some pretty neat stuff and she is promoting get-togethers there from time to time, if that may work. As far as sharing thoughts about striping, I will be pleased to give you some ideas and pointers. The Tiki thing sounds fun. Been slinging paint for more than fifty years, so perhaps I can help in some way. I noticed you asked a question some time ago about 4-strings. I recommend 5-4-3-2 (A,D,g,b) for four-string gits, tuned DGbd.

I don't have anything laying around, but give me an idea of what you might like in a panel and I can whip something up. Better yet, I live in Ohio and it might be fun to get some of us mid-westerners together for a CBG thing and at the time I could paint something for you. At any rate, I'll be happy to lay down some lines for you.
