Now this is one crazy guitar...or bass...or both. The heaviest 3 strings are the bottom 3 strings on a normal bass guitar, while the top 5 strings are the top 5 strings from a regular 6-string guitar. Therefore, the tuning, from lowest to highest string, is E-A-D-A-D-G-B-E. Crazy. Also, the frets on the fretboard kind of flare out on the bass side of the fretboard, and each string has an individual bridge. The combination of the weird fret arrangement and staggered individual bridges is supposed to stop strings that aren't picked from ringing sypathetically due to vibrations from neighboring strings. Adjusting intonation must be a bitch.
