I've pretty much gone to playing all baritone guitars and so am selling my standard guitars and I was hoping to try something different with one of my fave models before selling it.
I know that you can take a standard guitar and make it "raised B." It sounds nice, but not really what I am going for. Does anyone know of a way (string guages, tunings, etc.) to get Dave's gryphon's nice soprano sound on a standard guitar (I understand the guitar is a 12 string and I am playing a 6, but I'm simply talking general notes/tuning)?
If nothing else, would an octave pedal work?
Can a standard guitar be tuned to the Gryphon?

Best thing to do is take the Baritone, capo it, and use a POG so you can use an octave up and an octave up slightly detuned to get the 12 stringed sound.gibsonchet wrote:I've pretty much gone to playing all baritone guitars and so am selling my standard guitars and I was hoping to try something different with one of my fave models before selling it.

You can use the raised B guitar and capo it on 3rd fret, or on 1st for the baby blue sound. Cheapest way of getting that raised D sound.
