!NOTE!   There's a cath with guitar/tuning in Staind's songs
         Here's what Mike(Staind guitarist) himself says about his mean guitar:
         “On my signature baritone, I get completely stable tuning and better
         articulation with fuller tone than I could ever achieve with a standard
         guitar-no matter what tuning or how aggressively I play.” -Mike Mushok
         Mike Mushok Ibanez signature model guitar(MMM1)
         The basics:
           Matte finished mahogany body and thru-neck provide gargantuan tone
           and sustain
           28” scale baritone neck offers the ability to achieve all kinds of low
           tunings
           Super 58 pickups custom wound for baritone
           Tuning machines feature low string posts for higher tension of the nut
           Factory tuning is A#-F-C#-G#-D#-A#(1 to 6)
