What type of guitar did Ed use during "Man of the Hour" on the solo tour? It was fairly small and had a much higher pitch than a normal acoustic.

    could have been some kind of parlor model. Occasionally they are tuned differently as well.

    I know Tacoma uses Nashville A tuning.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    He was still playing the same open chords that he would on a normal guitar though.

    yeah it's just a higher string tension higher pitch. Everything plays the same.

    I believe you use the octave strings from a 12 string guitar something like that. I'm not certain about all that though. Probably was a parlor guitar though.

    First of all, I have no idea.

    But I've seen Keith Urban use a smaller scale acoustic before:

    If anyone does know what that is, help a brotha out :)

    I can't check the youtube link, but he uses the same as one of my guitars.
    It's a mini maton EMD6. They are kickass.

    Here's a picture.
