This technique, combined with low tunings and heavy strings, gives many of his recordings a piano-like sound.
The bridge of these guitars was mounted 3 mm farther back on the face in order to provide better intonation when using heavier gauge strings for lower tunings.
(Was this piece more manageable in the lower tuning of his day?)
Due to these low tunings, they have to use heavy gauge strings to make up for the lower string tension.
Wariner's debut earned favorable comparisons to Glen Campbell for the low tuning of his guitar.
The band's sound image is extremely slow and heavy, using electric guitars, in low tunings such as drop A, enriched by resonant feedback creating its soundscapes.
The band blends polyrhythmic passages and extremely low tunings with a heavily layered production style and ambient soundscapes.
A wider drum with a larger head would be capable of a lower tuning.
He uses Ernie Ball 10 to 52 for standard tuning, and heavy jazz gauge 12 to 58 for lower tunings.
These lower tunings allow for a heavier sound and quicker chord changes in Donegan's riffs.
