6 String G-tuning pedal steel

Post by Chris Glass »

In the Fall of 2022 I acquired a six string Jackson Maverick Pedal steel built to be tuned in open G.
The tuning from low to high is G-B-D-G-B-D just like the common dobro tuning.

I played dobro and lap steel for many years in that tuning and always wanted a pedal steel tuned that way as well.
I am posting this to see if there are any other 6 sting players who would like to share your experience, copedent, ideas, tuning, etc...

Here is my current copedent:

Also, here is the latest video I have released on Youtube: https://youtu.be/Y92JxsP-0C0?si=SdyjZ-UpM5FTnaYx

I have really enjoyed playing this guitar and am hoping to hear from others on here who have ventured into the six string world of pedal steel!
