Tuning down half a step?

I enjoy playing along to some of the early 90s grunge bands from MTV unplugged. They almost all tune down half a step. I like the darker tone.

 

 

 

If you want a nice grunge experience, buy an old DeArmond soundhole pickup and put it the Bird! Run it to a preamp, perhaps even your Aura Spectrum.....or straight to a tube amp. I had my old DeArmond that came in my old LG3 put in my Bird copy - never ever going to get a clean note but the warmth!!! Fab. (Better than the guitar acoustically....)

 

If you can't find an old scratchy DeArmond, Guild, and probably Ren, are making them again:

Absolutely LOVE those old DeArmonds! Haven't tried the new ones yet.
