What on earth is this? <3

My double neck is going to have a baritone 12 on it. I'm a little nervous how it's going to turn out. Supposedly they should be putting it all together now but EGC time is in a different space/time continuum.

Looks like Gentry Densley's EGC, except it appears a normal scale instrument and Gentry tunes below the bass register, that kind of tuning wouldn't be possible on this. What gives?

I came across this:

It sure seems to be the very same guitar. I've searched high and low to find out what he tunes to, but haven't ever read anything other than what you said: "below the bass register..." I'm starting to think it's just tuned in regular old drop A or something and that his amps carry most of the tone

Just a thought. If they start making Hex guitars and he'd be willing to make an extended scale model, then I'm fucking getting one. No questions about it.

Edit: In some of the photos, the low strings certainly look thick as fuck.....

It's an .080 at best, I'd say.

He'll probably get his before I get my EGC.

It's in the comments on the Hex Cabs Facebook page, in the post about Eagle Twin touring europe.

He says he tunes to 36 Hz, wtf does that even mean?

That's over 2 octaves below a standard bass I believe. Is it just a Torche style "bomb string"?
