Ashbury can be quite variable in terms of playability. But had I spotted this earlier Bill, I'd have been happy to trial one for you as I'm in the UK near a Hobgoblin store.
That said, I totally...
Hi mate
Wasn't that, but maybe the same guy - while back!
Let's face it - people have been modding the fender teles with string trees etc and pickup swapping is soooo normal.
And you're spot on...
great thanks Verne, I really appreciate it
hey man thanks for that. Wondering whether to find one over here (UK) and give it a trial. I don't get feedback that often on the K&K, but I don't need all the mandolin anymore as I really only play...
if the current set on the guitar are good for you, why not get a set of digital callipers (with the screen) to measure the gauges, from Amazon or something - they are not expensive and useful for bad...
So.... I have actually had a try of this guitar.
I'm really sorry I don't have decent pic (since this damn browser won't let me upload) or sounds, but as it's a prototype... seems unfair on the...
I wish they did have a little competition though.
I picked up the WE 2p the other day... and nope... I just cannot bond with that wide neck. I get that it's cost effective for them to build this...
Makes you realise how desperate some are to get a vintage Martin.
I don't even play mine - but at least it doesn't have "a custom soundhole" - well not since one of its cracks got repaired :))
...
ha ha nice mistype Fox :)
I have nothing more to share with you sorry - literally that's all I know.
The good news MJBee is; this is mass production as far as tenors go. They are usually made...
I know Alan. Interesting character! Lives not so far from me in the Glasto region
Kinda feel fan frets are better suited to a five string seems a bit overkill-y
I played a fan fret zouk of his...
also this one - less mad, but still cool (again NFI!)

Found the large primetone triangles, 1.4 to 1.5.
No need to change for me.
The grippy ones.
I had a BC. I lost it of course being brown (whyyyyy!!!????!!). Was recommended one of the white...
Nonsense :) Six strings = overkill and besides everyone plays six string
That's my first resort... I leave the left corner nails of my right hand a bit longer. You don't need six inch nails -...
59 Martin 0-18t - yes it is that beat up but the sound...

my first electric that - the Eastwood Classic. Have a Warren Ellis but no decent pics and they are fairly...

I would post them all in one but the forum software is really playing up lately
Hey Verne - many thanks man - nice one
Local maker to me... Alex Bishop (I'm connected to him on social media but NFI)
For those who love the idea of a tenor with a soundhole that makes it irksome to fit a magnetic pickup in... :lol:
...
I think I'd file that bad boy under 'quirky', Fox!
Cool tho, wonder what it's like.
@Ray - did you mean "but do I really want another tenor guitar" cause if you haven't got one...
the warren ellis models are a LOT better on quality control - perhaps the astrojet is korean made too (Eastwood's own admission to me).
The classic was my first electric tenor - so i took the rough...
I did it once on my old celtic mandolin. I tuned GDAD. AWESOME FUN!!
that's OK :)
it's got the optional mic input - there are two jack ins. the switches above the jack inputs dictate what type of input IIRC
Nice one Bob - real nice to see an archtop oval hole! Not many of those around. Keep the pics coming
Barry
To elaborate on what I sent you - my bass player was using his for mixing his two pickups on his double bass. One's a kind of magnetic, the other a piezo in the bridge.
Hope that helps. ...
