Does anyone KNOW what tunning he used with Carl Smith?I have to learn his 50s songs.

To me it all sounded pretty much like C6th....BTW Scottys sell their " Old favourite " tabs and a couple of Carl Smith tunes are covered in C6th.

In1953 HE told me the Carl Smith neck was A6 and the other for guests, etc was c6.

I believe ccJohnson is correct.

Andy,
I'm an avid Johnny Sibert fan (he spells his last name SIBERT). I can tell you most of Carl Smith's songs were recorded with the A6th tuning on steel. A few like LOOSE TALK and THERE SHE GOES were with the C6th.
Johnny has the greatest "Fender sound" on steel guitar that I have ever heard, bar none.
