Pat plays a lot of guitars by Canada's Linda Manzer http://www.manzer.com/
That's a baritone guitar, but "high tuned" if I recall? I know a lot of people are very pumped about that CD. I thought it was just fine, but not super great.

he's playing a linda manzer baritone, as mentioned. he's using a partial "nashville" tuning. there are variations, but typically a nashville or high-strung tuning involves using the octave (high) gauges of a 12-string set on the 6-3 strings (some folks just do 6-4), and then you use regular gauges on 1-2. i have a guitar i leave in a high-strung tuning, with gauges .30, .23, .16., 12., .16, .12. john pearse makes a high-strung string set...
pat is using baritone strings (not sure the gauges but definitely beefier), but he's using high-strung gauging on the 4,3 strings. it sounds nice. i like the record a lot. i believe he used a pair of neumann 140s to record the album. there's a little more info here: http://onequietnight.patmethenygroup...nernotes.shtml
