This, too:
" I have a classical Cordoba that is also pretty standard that I play a lot."
Google image search of her name yields this:
Pretty sure it's an NS, just for the record.
What did he do to the tuning there??
He starts from "Dropped D" (bottom E strings tuned down to E), then tunes up to standard tuning again to play Wish you were here
Good : I meant "bottom E strings tuned down to D" of course...Glad you got it right !Got it! I kept tuning up from EADGBE. I sounded worse than usual!
Thanks
got answer finally from rep at Sweetwater and there is a small difference:
"The difference is the type of material used for the Core and wire. The Clapton 41MEC12 are made with a traditional core wire and tin-plated steel plain strings. They are the specifications that Eric Clapton wanted on his strings. So a small difference but his preference."
worth $2 more? probably not and from your own experience no, but i will give them mediums a shot next string purchase. i have tried the SPs and do like them ok but do not like the gold plated B/E string. personal pet peeve, not important but alas, is what it is

What guitar is Richie Havens playing here ?
For me, this is the ultimate in many ways: a Sunburts Guild 12 string (a dream guitar for me), being played by David Gilmour (my favourite guitarist) playing ports of "Wish You Were Here" (the greatest rock song of all time, according to me), and Gilmour himself loivng the sound of the guitar. See it here:
Love the part in the beginning:
Interviewer: "why would you use a 12 string?"
Glimour: "Just listen to that. Why wouldn't you?"
Anyone would know what Guild model D. Gilmour is using here ? It looks like a F-512 to me, but I couldn't tell if it'd be maple back and sides or rosewood ; we don't see much of the sides, and considering what finish may be used, hard to tell)... I'd say rosewood though. Is that right ?
It's maple, so a F-412. Rosewood was never color finished on the back and sides.That looks like maple on the sides to me.
