My J-180 is an Epiphone IBGC, It's a fantastic guitar. Definitely exceeds my expectations.
You might be on to something!
Man, I think I finally had an epiphany with open guitar tunings after 50 years

I've been playing around with open tunings for a long time. the thing was, sometimes a guitar just wouldn't sound right in whatever tuning I was trying. It was frustrating when I only had 1 guitar.
This week I've been working on something that is a mix of a middle eastern type groove mixed with bluegrass licks for a certain song. I had been playing it in open D on my j180 which is a 25.5" scale guitar with full string tension. I decided to play it on my L-00 which is 24.75" scale and has lower string tension. It didn't sound right, so I tuned it up to an open E tuning. It worked beautifully.
I think the trick is: If you need to tune strings higher than standard tuning, use a short scale guitar, if you need to tune some strings down, use a full scale guitar.

That's pretty decent. I wish I could still just pitch simple demos like that, because I have hundreds of songs recorded just like that. It would save me a lot of money. Publishers now just pass on those types of song demos.

Unpopular opinion, but Jambalaya is more Zydeco than Cajun. In fact, it may have been the first popular Zydeco song.
Agree.

Let's hear some of your demos.
That's a studio recording, but yeah, the studio uses Ai Tools. They all do. Hell I can't even find an accordion player around here.
Soundcloud Link. I got this finished a couple weeks ago. First time I have shared it. It's had pretty good evals.

Him talking about that Clearnce White guitar, that might very likely have been the one that CW was putting in his trunk on that night, and being close with Roland and all that. With Vince Gill, it's not name dropping or blowing smoke, He's lived it.

A popular thing see now is guys putting Filtertron style pickups there. Lollar makes some but they are $200 a pop.
I was sitting around thinking about what I could do. I started playing on my yellow telly with The Fretshack's P90 Telly pickups in it. The neck pickup is reverse wound, so in the middle position, it's like an extreme wide range humbucker and sounds so sweet.
I wish I could just order another set of those, but this is a budget build, my first one for a Nashville local.
I got to thinking though, maybe I could try a reverse wound soap bar p90 and get the same effect. I haven't found one yet. I've found reverse wound dog ears, but not soap bars. Anybody got leads?
