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 :))

Nice one Pete. Always good to do such a thing.
lovely isn't it. i saw that on instagram yesterday.
they're thinner tops than the etg150 right? (for obvious reason, the etg is electric so has a thick old top!)
during lockdown/s I found myself hitting a dead end for writing with my tenor guitars - so what did I do? that's right, i got back into recording electronic style music and even bought a nice hybrid...
Sounds great Daniel - jealous of that Arrow...! I've really liked every one I've seen of those; esp the tenor guitars
LOL
down with that sort of thing! :))
the At-40 is a great starter tenor :) in fact - it'll last you a while so hardly "beginner"!
oooh the slippery slope begins :) I have six tenor guitars.... it'll happen ha ha
Mine are all tuned in variants of GDAE (favs are GDAD, GDGD), some are pure electric, a couple are acoustic.
...
i use this set if that helps at all
Clifford Essex Ultraheavy(or another manufacturer obviously!)
maybe it's because the Pono is short scale as well - this will make it darker sounding than a gzouk.
exactly this - it's one of the holy grails amongst zouk players. He also owns a normal shaped Foley IIRC.
I've owned a Gzouk, It also sounds NOTHING like a guitar and everything like a bouzouki - but yea a different too.
That was a forster.
Check out Aus/UK musician James Fagan and his Sobell.......
i have been; but they do try to help if not
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 just spotted on a facebook thread on the TG page that Ashbury have just started prototyping an oval hole & f hole archtop model of tenor. There will be ones in better woods.. or something....

He's a nice lad is Tom (his Dad too) & we have a mate in common. Hung out with him & Pons Aelius guys year before last at the most recent Purbeck Valley Folk Fest. It's a Davidson thing :)
Definitely a him - not sure why there was a doubt! As on the other thread - I'd love a bubble when i get back to the stage - but neck or mid pickups are my thing, not bridge
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...
Well, I've come over all unnecessary looking at those pics! Niiiiiceeeee!
have submitted a question to point out the dischord (pun) over the overwide nut they keep going for
ok. is that a Warren Ellis nut width or a Classic tenor nut width (their site is crap - reckons both are the same lol, 1 5/16!!!)
I actually like those less. But i suppose I that I want a funky one for stage!
also this one - less mad, but still cool (again NFI!)

i kind of wish he'd tune it for the demo though... unless my ear infection has gotten worse... (that happened once in my life - ear infection leading to complete loss of musical ear - everything out...
