In defense of my own pedanticalness, I will point out that my original 
reply had this note:

"Top plate from Melody Maker +
bottom plate from standard =
country tuning
(raised 5 draw - and in this case the 9 draw as well)"

...indicating that the 9 draw was also sharped.  I didn't specifically 
point out that this was a deviation from "country" tuning, but it was 
noted in the post. 

Pedantically yours,
