I am using a korg ca30 to tune my acoustic @ 440 hz.

I would like to get the "twangy" sound from the PJ unplugged set.

How should I tune the gtr to get there?

thanx for the input
See this needle...a see my hand...
Drop drop dropping it down...oh so gently...
Well here it comes...I touch the plane...
Turn me up...won't turn you away...

    It's not in the tuning, unless you're refering to 'Daughter'
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    no

    the sound of the gtrs are different, could it be the strings?

    you said it yourself. the guitars sound different.

    and with acoustic guitars....guitars sound different!

    start playing all different types of acoustic guitars at your local music store and find the sound you like

    New strings will help a little bit to get that sound. Also, try strumming closer to the bridge... this creates a twangier sound.

    But mainly it depends on the guitar.
