Regarding Poppa Gator's trivia question, open D (or E) is sometimes known as "Sebastapol" (or sometimes "Vestapol") tuning from a popular open D tune by that name. Likewise, open G is sometimes known a "Spanish" tuning for the tune "Spanish Fandango".

And, Blue=Life, I also have one of those Dean resos but I put a Dobro nut on it and play it lap-style in Dobro G tuning (GBDGBD). Not bad sounding, but I'm seriously considering selling off a couple of other guitars and getting a real Dobro.
