![]() It's why I play an Advanced Jumbo instead of a J-45 despite being a mahogany guy at heart. That's the dream guitar! But I'm worried with the small body and short scale that the volume drop-off will be too much to tune down even for the chuggier Delta songs.ĭoes anyone with a Gibson L-00 or similar ever play tuned down half a step? How does it sound? That volume drop has concerned me though, as I'm thinking of investing in a Gibson L-00 Standard next year. ![]() These are mostly in C and G though and are isolated to the first 7-ish frets, so I'm happy in standard tuning for these, with G where it is and like to capo C up to D. The problem I have with is is that I've found that the volume drop-off for piedmont/Memphis-style blues is massive. I would tune down a full step if I could get away with it, but even the half step is a lot more forgiving I have taken to play chug blues tuned half a step down on my 25.6" scale parlour, as for the most part they are blues in A or E, and neither of those work for me vocally. I'm looking for a bit of help from anyone who plays a small body 24.75" scale acoustic.
