Jeff: The time I got to observe Kayton up close, I got the sense that he didn't make much use of the F6/9 tuning, but used it only for certain fills and novelty effects. In the course of several hours playing, he stuck to the C6 neck almost exlusively, but gave a brief demonstration of how he used the other tuning that left everyone's jaw on the floor - lots of quick chording, slides and knob-spinning. There's probably a message in the fact that a player of that stature essentially confines himself to one tuning on the one instrument he's ever owned.
