GSTQ on A&M is worth around £15K it seems!

Could have been that then, as I know he paid around that for it!

@downsideup11 I just assumed they had tuned guitars to a piano or something that was a tad sharp

would irongear alnico 2 or alnico 5 be closer ?
 i'm guessing alnico 5

Interested in your comment about EMI and Holidays being in a different pitch. What does that actually mean, that they were artificially sped up or slowed down?

It was quite common for tracks to be sped up or slowed down at the mixing/mastering stage using varispeed on the tape machine. It could make them sound more exciting but also of course changed the pitch.
