Opeth also uses open D minor 9 tuning (DADFAE) on more than half of Ghost Reveries. Ghost of Perdition, Baying of the Hounds, Reverie/Harlequin Forest, The Grand Conjuration, and Isolation Years use this tuning.
Sounds to me like they did a half-ass job on the set-up. It probably just needs a little adjustment to fix the neck relief. Also, you might wanna change the G to a wound .24 string 'cause unwound G's almost always have a problem. It's just physics. Hope this helps.
I listened to the Death discography 3 times yesterday. I don't know, was I the only one here who got all emotional yesterday?? I also played a bunch of his music as a tribute. I hope he heard me from the great beyond. R.I.P. Chuck. :deathm:
Yeah, I love Dime, but I think What Dean has done to his name is just disgraceful. I can't stand watching Dean make money off of shitty quality guitars with Dime's name on the headstock. I feel like he'd be rolling around in his grave.
