Now its quite possible that Kim Thyail was messing with the interviewer, but they quoted him as saying they don't use alternate tunings. I couldnt stop laughing as just about every song off that record and Badmotorfinger is in an alternate tuning even if its just dropped a half step or or the low E is dropped to D. But there are some weird tunings on both those records.Im not a huge fan of Fender Strats, I prefer Telecasters. I've owned 2 Fender acoustics and both of the necks warped. The one I left in an alternate tuning for a few days in the middle of August when it was about 90 degrees and it casued the neck to bow around the 12th fret. That cost about $150 to have fixed. The other one has a bow in the neck on the high E at the 7-9 fret, its the same note. I had my friend tweak it and it was fine but I took it out of my guitar room that I keep climate controlled and was playing it on my couch and within 15 minutes the same thing happened to it again. Bottom line is I wont buy another Fender acoustic. I owned a Gibson Les Paul Tribute and I wasnt impressed with it and sold it. Their QC had a very bad representation for a long time. Looks like a nice guitar. I prefer maple necks as opposed to ebony or whatever substitute they use in its place. I always wondered why Gibson never made anything with a maple fret board, I've never seen any if they did. But of course, if your Jack White you can anything made, he commissioned Gibson to make him 3 guitars called the Fort Knox series.[ATTACH=full]290444[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
