Open G ''Gdg'' Is The Most Popular Tuning For 3-String Cigar Box Guitars, And For Good Reason. It'S Just So Easy To Bang Out Good Ole Gritty Blues Using This Classic Tuning. Sometimes Known As The G Modal Or G Power Chord Tuning, If You Are Looking For A Great Tuning To Try On Your Cbg, This Is Probably It! ------------------------------------ Open G Gdg String Set Varieties - Low G, Middle D, Middle G (Sku# 34-014-01): This Set Is The Lowest Of The Low. All Wound Strings, .042'', .030'' And .022'' Phosphor Bronze Wound. Choose This Option If You Want A Deep, Low, Growly Blues Tone. Low G, Middle D, High G (Sku# 34-015-01): Our Most Popular Set! This Set Is Very Similar To The First One Above, But It Swaps Out The Middle G For A High Unwound G String. Having That High Note Really Works Well In This Set, And Allows For A Stronger Melody Line. We Recommend This Set! String Sizes Are .042'' Wound, .030'' Wound And .009'' Plain Steel. Low G, High D, High G (Sku# 34-016-01): This Set Keeps The Low G But Moves Both The D And G Up Into The Higher Register. This Is Our Second Favorite Set After The One Above - It Keeps A Nice Low Thumpy Bass Note, Balanced With The Higher Treble Sounds Of The High D And G. String Sizes Are .042'' Wound, .012'' Plain Steel And .009'' Plain Steel. Middle G, High D, High G (Sku# 34-017-01): This Set Brings The Low G Up To A Middle G - Still A Wound String, But A Full Octave Higher. This Is Definitely A Treble-Heavy Set, With A Lot More High-End Twang - Which Can Be Very Cool, If That Is The Sound You Are Looking For! String Sizes Are .022'' Wound, .012'' Plain Steel And .009'' Plain Steel.
