Strength Beyond Strength is between D standard and C# Standard. Dime adjusted his tuner to be a bit flat so other bands in their jam space would stop stealing their riffs. So they’d tune to Standard, Drop D, or D standard, but with the tuner set to 425-430ish instead of 440Hz

Love your work as always man... I do have a random question though, what kind of strings do you use? I'm just curious because I've used Heavy Bottom slinkys for a long time and I think that is more of my "Adam Jones Fanboy" thinking and I want to experiment with different gauge strings/brands and whatnot
