E13?

My D13th could be tuned up to E13th. This tuning and setup has everything that I had on my Zum triple neck with E13th, E9th and 11 string C6th. It's taken me five years of experimenting with different setups to arrive at what I believe is the ultimate and only true universal tuning. It truly is all there. The right knee right turns the bottom end of the tuning to the same as C6th only one step higher. Using the RKR with P5 and 6 cuts down on multiple pulls. I have had the normal P8 C6th on pedal 5 on most of my guitars. I got that from Chalker and Day. It always made more sense to have P5 and P8 next to each other. I have found voicings that I was not able to play before as well. And it can be setup Day or Emmons style. The best part of it is there is no thinking in two tunings like E9/B6. A E is an E no matter the style you are playing in.

Very nice!
Lots to study here.
Johnny, that's cool how the RKR restores the tuning to the D6 'standard' intervals in the bass region. I assume you have a split with your pedal 6 to get the Ab ( G# ) on string 11?
Johnie- I've seen a lot of videos of Zane playing this tuning and he's doing some great stuff!
Thanks fellas.
