Wow indeed! What a unique guitar. What is the "standard" tuning arrangement for a 5 string guitar?

that thing's beautiful!
regarding the tuning i just did a quick google search and found this: http://www.guitarplayer.c.....keith-richards/Mar-05/556
quote:
In addition to being the poster child for rockers with attitude, Keith Richards is one of the greatest rhythm guitarists ever to strap on a 6-string. Or more accurately, a 5-string. Richards crafts many of his most memorable riffs using a modified open-G tuning, which involves removing his sixth string and tuning strings 5-1 to G, D, G, B, D.
"The whole idea of getting rid of the sixth string in the open tuning was having the root on the bottom," he told GP's Tom Wheeler in 1983. "You can get a drone going, so you have the effect of two chords playing against each other. One hangs on because you've just got to move one finger"or two at the most"to change the chord, so you've still got the other strings ringing. It's a big sound."
