...I just nabbed an old Epiphone tenor from eBay, and it was set up to play in DGBE tuning. That just seemed uninteresting to me, since I have a few guitars that have that tuning already...so I tried the Eddie Condon tuning that Frank mentioned. It's great! Very flexible, some nice possibilities for voice-leading. I can see why Condon stuck with it for his whole life...
