Location: moline,illinois | Hey guys I won a 1999 Elite DS768 longneck on the bay last night, she's cherry-cherry burst and looks pretty nice.I've never owned or played a longneck before but read great things about them on here so I thought what the hay lets get a new toy for Christmas, any recommendations on string brand/gauges and tunings to get the most out of it.I'll post pics as soon as she arrives hopefully this weekend. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | The Daddario 14-60 set, J18 I think it is, green pack. Tune it d2d or lower as you like. Enjoy, they are great, but what do I know, I just used to run a gas station for airplanes..... |

Location: moline,illinois | I ordered two sets of EJ 18's.I like the idea of the B tuning it should really rumble on the low end. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | John, I ordered both my 6 and 12 string Adamas Longnecks in 2005 through a dealer Damon, you are right. I imagine there are probably less than 10 total ever built. i should have said, you want rumble, "hear" an Adamas longneck.

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I've got one (a six string) that I had custom made through Al. Keep it tuned to B. Easier for me to sing with and much easier to transpose on the fly when jamming with others. (D for them is G for me, their C is my F, their E is my A, etc.) |
