Just got a new pick-up for my old G-tuned guitar and it's transformed it!
I've had this gat for maybe 19 years and I bought it to replace one I stupidly smashed into pieces during a Nihil show in Hamilton . I took the pick-up from that poor smashed thing and put it into what was to become my permanently low tuned monster.
Turns out that pick-up was broken (duh) and never worked right.
I also never really knew about intonation and the fact that turning down to G means you should really move the bridge back... so I had that fixed recently too.
All that adds up to me playing more gat than ever and loving it.
Me and Christian P plus Ben Hawker are trying to put together some songs for a new band in this super-low and delicious tuning, so I'll post some of that eventually.
In the meantime, here's a rough sketch I wrote and played the other day:
