I know that my original list of the guitars/tunings from 2007 says that D&C was the Giffen, but I later changed my opinion to one of the JPP signature models. Later versions of the list show that amendment.

Good info but just to take it a bit further, there have been a few bands that played "tuned down" ie. SRV and Van Halen (DLR), but it was usually just a 1/2 step to E flat.

Stairway/O2 for sure is a whole step down with Jimmy's guitar tuned to D.....not sure about the others.

All the down tuned songs were down a whole tone. Here's the link to the original thread from 2007:

from 12th Dec 2007

First up - the tunings:

#1 LP - standard tuning down a tone to D

Giffen LP proto-type copy - standard tuning down a tone to D [2013 edit - as mentioned above, I later revised my opinion of this guitar to be a Gibson JPP signatrue model]

#2 LP - standard tuning at correct pitch (E)

ES350 - open G

LP custom - standard tuning at correct pitch (E)

EDS 1275 - both necks standard tuning down a tone to D

Cherry b-bender LP - DADGAD at correct pitch (D)

Transperformance LP - standard tuning at correct pitch (E) plus auto-tune craziness!

...So the set, with guitar changes is this:

GTBT/RO/BD - #1

IMTOD - swtich to the ES350 for slide - this is down a tone from the album, but this is the key they played it live in the '70s.

FYL - LP custom Black Beauty, same key as the record

TU - #2

NFBM - #1

NQ - #1 - down a full step from where they used to play it live, but only down a half step from the record, because the recording was slowed down by a half step.

SIBLY - #2 - unusual choice of guitar, but it seems they wanted to do it in the correct key

D&C - the Giffen copy [edit - JPP sig model] ...use(d) this guitar for all the bow work to keep the main guitars free from rossin

STH/TSRTS - EDS 1275

MMH - #2

Kashmir - cherry b-bender LP

WLL - transperformance LP

R&R - #1

So the choice of #1 or #2 for a given song fits exactly with whether it was down tuned or not.
