Tommy Shannons tone

[Youngspanion]

Does any one know if Tommy tuned down for "soul to soul", maybe a half step or maybe a whole one?

[Blueszilla]

SRV tuned down a half step, so TS probably did too?

Quote: "I tune low, use heavy strings and floor it...just floor it. that's technical talk" or something to that effect.

The most comon opinion I have found is that Tommy also tuned E flat. Some SRV just doesn't work with out a low E flat, and I've never seen nor heard of his Tommy using a five...... just a Jazz .
YMMV, Chris - working trough "Rivera Paradise" as we read this.......
