Tenor guitar, ect.

[amfranks]

Just wondering if anyone here can recommend the Warren Ellis Tenor guitar? I've been listening to Grinderman on youtube a lot recently and thought that it might be an interesting guitar to change things up a bit.

Also, saw this:

I'm familiar with the song, but thought nashville tuning was only used to thicken up a song.

it's not gonna get you any new timbres; it's still a vibrating steel string of roughly equivalent scale length, but the different tuning lends itself to unusual inversions.(and some of the skills sorta transfer to plectrum banjo) Like Nashville and high-strung tunings, it's good for layering, but if you want a different timbre, consider a nylon-string, an electric sitar or resophonic/dobro.
