Many builders are not musicians and have limited musical skills. It is often to difficult to know exactly how to tune strings on various instruments. MGB is not a musician and created his own cheat sheet to help him with set ups. While many musicians can get pretty close with tuning a string by ear, others (like MGB) have no idea where they are on the scale. MGB quickly realized it was helpful to use the corelating frequency for tuning. The A note has frequency of 440HZ. The Pano tuner app is very helpful, it provides the note and the frequency. The 88 keys on the piano are listed on the left, moving to the right are popular note tuning for a number of instruments. While there are many tuning possibilities for cbgs listed are a few popular choices.

This is a old blues tuning chart.

I've seen this same chart years ago.
This is used for forgotten tunings to find the frequency, for example tuning in Open E 5 you tune the 6th string to E as in standard tuning.
The A string also gets tuned to E so how did we figure out weather to tune the string up or down is by reading the frequency on our tuners,
Old tuners didn't tell us if we were tuning to E or A we just aimed at 440,
So what we figure out was to turn the A down to E the D up to E the G down to E the B to a B and E tune to E .
This tuning sounds like a Sistar
And was used by the Doors & Cosby Stills and Nash songs throughout their bands history Steven Stills work in Open E 5 is extraordinary.
Remember 1 to the 5th the original bules players tunings came from Cigar Box Guitar's . In Cleveland Ohio the Rock and Roll Capital of the World
We all love MGB Guitar's I've been playing my Red Brick House around & people want one for themselves.
Thank you MGB Mike is a Rockstar
