In my experience, direct sunlight always works the best over time. But you can help it along! I've had luck with both very smelly cars and very smelly cases using Ozium - both the canister and the...

I recently picked up a case made for a reproduction baroque guitar and although it fits my size 2, it's very close to my old size 5 tenor case. (I have an 0-17T now so cases are a lot easier to come...
Hello! The OP hasn't logged in for over a year, but I can give you my experience with these books (also bought because of this thread!) I play GDAE tenor instruments and these books were both helpful...
I had been playing in lower tunings this week with the wrong strings (too floppy!) so I decided to try restringing. I didn't have the right strings around for FCGD, but I had the right ones to pull...
Here's a YouTube review of the Recording King I spotted on one of the FaceBook Tenor Guitar groups:

Looks like he had some quality control issues -...
Michael,
My first thoughts are:
1. The fourth fret is high. Can you use a small straight edge placed from the 3rd to the 5th frets, and see if it rocks back on forth on the 4th fret? That fret...
pheffernan has the best option for Jazz: tune to "standard" tenor tuning, CGDA, and get yourself some tenor banjo books. Mostly the tenor banjo books have Jazz repertoire in them. You don't have to...
Sounds great! Going to give this a shot capoed on my tenor guitar. Won't have quite the same ring, but I think it'll work.
I looked around for this on the forum, and didn't see it - so wanted to share. Nicely edited home "concert" by Goat Rodeo on NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts). The music is (of course) amazing, but if you're...
I have a habit of putting together frankenstein guitars, especially tenors: more than one 6 string neck has made a few passes through my band saw and been attacked by rasps and planes and become a...
One last question: are those nylon strings on it now?
I’ll bite: 1920-1930s. (I know they brought back the Venetian shape for mandolins in the 1950s or 60s, but I don’t think they did tenors that way again, or at least not with pearloid.)
CGDA would...
Looks great! I love that copper pickguard. Reminds me of the original guards on the Fender JazzMaster and the like. Can't wait to hear a sound clip!
That’s a beauty! Welcome to the madness. :)
Anyone else see this incredible electric Rickenbacker tenor with matching amp from 1934 on eBay for the low low price of half a million smackeroos?

Verne,
That is SUPER helpful! And your rig is intense and amazing. Looks like a lot of fun! I'll keep at it, and will look at the links that John shared above, too. Reverb I get. That's where I...
Would love to see some photos of that! I've been thinking that would be a fun build.
Nice Trader Todd! I like those slides in the B part!
Steve, your post was one I read over a few times when I was planning my conversion!
I did buy a "real" tenor guitar, and I've had 24 hours with it, a 1935 Gibson-made Cromwell (basically a...
After a few weeks, I'm making a few modifications to the tenor conversion. Here is a before and after (I don't have any photos pre-tenor conversion. Whoops!)
Here it is right after conversion:...
At first I thought, oh, wow, he follows up 18 months later to see how the armrests are working out! I hadn't had enough coffee. Thankfully, I'd had enough not to click. :)
(The armrest is still...
This just popped up in my recommendations: fellow Grand Rapidian Hayes Griffin is posting some "Tiny Moore Tuesday" lesson videos of Tiny Moore songs. Here's today's:...
Yes - I thought it was pretty unusual for an A, too. Not sure if they are original, but the price hanger from when it was purchased 2 owners ago lists it as an A model with Handel tuners. They work...
Just a quick update on this, a little over 8 months later: A month ago I bought a mid-1930s Kalamazoo KM-11 flat top, which I thought would be the closest I got for a while to a teens or twenties...
I just got mine strung up last night. I got a heck of a deal on it, as the seller listed it as a baritone uke, but it was in pretty rough shape when I got it. Several top cracks, a few cracked braces...
