    @horbergaren It’s actually Open G – DGDGBD, low to high. I’ve tried it in D but it doesn’t suit my voice.

    @horbergaren It’s easy mix them up, until you start playing in Open G when you thought it was tuned in Open D. :-)

    You sound great! I like those Messer guitars. I live in the U.S., but I’m thinking the extra cake for a Messer shipped over here might be worth it. I know he has them made in Asia, but I think his post set-up is superior to all the other importers. Very good sound. I like your relaxed approach, too.
