Bridge & Saddle of an Eastwood Astrojet Tenor Guitar

Check this thread for lots of advice on gauges. I used a John Pearse set, and it sounds and feels very good.

Hi Chip,

I can't answer definitively, but I'm with you - I just assumed the first two numbers represented the year.

I bought my Astrojet used, it starts with a 15 serial number and that was...

Here's one recommendation for Chicago tuned Fender Tenor Teles:

184755

Well, maybe not. They shipped with 9-11-16-24 which is very light. I agree with Chip, too light for the 22.75" scale.

In my opinion: Besides adjusting the truss rod, changing strings is the...

Fitted a Gotoh RG30 string tree - that's sounding better now :mandosmiley:

Stick bit of post-it note on headstock, measure once, have a cup of tea, measure again, leave it overnight, measure...

And, rawk! The new and hard to obtain Fender Tele Tenor finally arrives!

Just to report in... I'm loving this thing. I tuned it like an octave mando. I'm not a really good player (really a guitar player, and mediocre at that), but this seems to match my inadequacies...

I thought I was moving on from making guitars but I just can’t help myself! 182376182377182378182379

Hey Dan,

Still loving the Blonde!

Fiesta Red showed up Saturday - I let it acclimate for a day and didn't get into playing it too much, so I can't comment on the sound yet.

Once again,...

I hope it's a huge success and they do more.

Since it's listed as one of their standard Telecaster offerings, and is no longer referenced as part of the alternate reality series, is it possible...

Butterscotch Blonde arrived yesterday.

Fit and finish is great. No issues with the frets. Translucent finish shows wood grain.

Sounds great.

Fender F610 Mini Stratocaster gig bag is nice.
...

Yes fox it has side dots.

I my tenor tele came in yesterday, I quickly converted it to GDAE and have had about 24 hours with it. Here are my first thoughts:

Thanks,

I did not want a tremolo so I filled the space, I also managed to get a reasonable finish using spray cans but it took a few goes, I hope to fix the fretboard on tomorrow...

I finally got my hands on a brand spankin new Blue Ridge BR-40TCE which is an acoustic/electric version w/ a cutaway of the BR-40T.

Up till this point in time I had never played a Blue Ridge...

I don’t follow the US market but there should be quite a bit of choice, but as Al points out the BR60t is a beautiful guitar!
How about this one, nice vintage shape... ...

The Blueridge tenor guitars are strong and capable of handling heavy strings, there is a well documented thread on this forum features a BR 40T that has been modified to use 8 strings and over 150lb...

June 2019 release.

I agree that lamented tops can sound great but, I must say that I also agree with Chip in that solid wood tops seen to add something you can’t find in a ply or plastic top.
I built a carbon top six...
