1993 Dave Solo at the Record Exchange

Well it's definitely a Yamaha because it says so on the headstock (5:17 in there's a pretty good close up) It appears to be either an LL500 or an LS 400 or 500. No way to tell for sure.

is it the Yamaha Country Jumbo CJ-818SB from the satellite video?

i used to have that until i had to format. Awesome vid. guitar is tuned 1/2 step down.

yeah he says somthin along the lines of "...out of tune for effect"
why is it tuned down half a step?

He always says that as a joke, but really i think its because the show was in the morning and anyone who has ever tried to sing in the morning knows that your voice is usually lower. Just a guess though..

Yea. I remember one show he said something to the effect of, "I used to be able to tune by ear, and then I started having trouble with that. Now I tune with a machine and am having trouble tuning with the machine."

The odds of him trying to tune a guitar and accidentally tuning it perfectly half a step down are ridiculous. He tuned it half a step down on purpose because it was early and makes it easier to sing.

great vid...... and i think if you look at the time on the bottom of the screen it say somewhere around 3 o clock...

Its cool to see how much Dave and his songs have evolved from this. It must have been hard for him to get a date. If I were a girl and he started talking weird and shit, I'd say screw it.

he says that on pretty much every D&T show.

If you let your guitar sit for around a day or so it will be almost perfectly out of tune on all the strings. Or at least they are for me. So maybe he just didnt tune before he played that day.

Could be. You can't really see the body of the guitar in this video, so I was just basing it off the headstock.

Where do you keep your guitar, in a sauna? My guitars stay in pretty good tune and they all sit on their own guitar stands in my music room.

If you take a guitar outside to go play at say....I dont know.....a record store.....there is a good chance it would be out of tune when you get there. And yes I agree there is a good chance he did it himself too.
