One of the best, IMO.

This isn't a Tele question, but on "Stratosphere Boogie", how was his twelve-string tuned? The unison and octave strings had to be tuned to a third, major or minor, to get those harmonies.

Thanks,
Drew Howard

There was an article in GP about it, several years back, and it was some combination of Major and Minor thirds, I don't remember exactly. I tried it at the time and it was really cool.
