3-String Open D "DAD" Modal/Blues String Set for Cigar Box Guitar

Open D "DAD" is a very popular tuning for 3-string cigar box guitars, second only to the Open G GDG tuning. It's just so easy to bang out good ole gritty blues using this classic tuning. Sometimes known as the D Modal or D Power Chord tuning, if you are looking for a great tuning to try on your CBG, this is a great option! Because this tuning is in the same 1-5-1 pattern as GDG, you can make use of any of the how-to-play videos on YouTube done with GDG tuning... the result will just be a bit lower in pitch.

Low D, Middle A, High D - This set keeps the Low D but moves both the A and D up into the higher register. This is our favorite set in this tuning - it keeps a nice low thumpy bass note, balanced with the more trebly Middle A and the high D. String sizes are .052" wound, .022" wound and .012" plain steel.

Please note: we used to offer 4 set varieties in this tuning, but only the one above proved to be a popular seller, so now this is the only one we offer.
