    Re: Purchase Advice

    Just FYI some of the earlier Blueridge tenors don't have truss rods. Don't know what year they started adding them but I've seen older ones without.

    Re: 8 string tenor guitar

    Some people are more particular about parameters than others. We have a mix of lumpers and splitters here but we all seem to get along. I have a couple 24" scale tenors that some people would insist...

    Re: Eastwood Astrojet SG Tenor Guitar

    From the photo & the specs listed, it's the same as best I remember - but those online specs sometimes turn out to be inaccurate. The narrow neck was one of my favorite things about the previous run....

  5. Re: A quick and inexpensive way to try the tenor guitar

    For CGDA I would use a standard set, like the D'Addario 32-10 set, which I find too tight for a 23" scale anyway; but if you wanted to replicate that tension, just bump up the gauges, maybe 34-11?...
  6. Re: A quick and inexpensive way to try the tenor guitar

    I had one for a bit. It's not a toy, but not a high (or middle) -end instrument either. It is meant for steel strings and comes tuned DGBE. The body is baritone uke sized, and the scale as previously...
  7. Re: Are there tenors (CGDA) built for gut/nylon strings (not ukes

    Pono makes a Baritone Nui ("big baritone") for nylon strings, normally DGBE but if you can get CGDA to work on it, it might be your best bet, as it's about the size of a Martin 0 tenor (23" scale, 13...

    Steve Pyott has passed

    I saw on Facebook that Steve Pyott recently passed away. He was a founding member of the Tenor Guitar Registry, the first online tenor guitar community, and he posted here as well. He was also...
  9. Another Eastwood, another hollow electric tenor

    All of a sudden there are two full hollow-bodied electric tenors in production. In addition to newcomer Craven guitars (which has its own thread here), Eastwood now offers one with a Florentine...

    Re: Cozart Tenor Telecaster

    A few months ago they were selling for $160, so the "discounted" bit looks more like marketing strategy, but that's still ridiculously cheap for an electric tenor. Of course the flipside of that...

    FYI, there's a used Ibanez AVT1-NT tenor on the Guitar Center website (link). I bought it and just returned it. Be warned that the frets are uneven and this causes some buzzing on several frets,...

    Re: Case for Martin tenor

    Re: Martin 5-15T vs 0-18T

    These don't match the dates, but here are clips of a 58 5-15T and a 66 0-18T, both in GDAE tuning, from Jake Wildwood's website.

    Re: Martin 5-15T vs 0-18T

    If I was going to use it for CGDA tuning, I would be more drawn to the 5-15T. If I was relying on a decent bass tone with a lower (eg GDAE) tuning, I would favor the 0 size. On the other hand, 70s...

    There are two versions of the Martin Mini (size 5) case - not cheap but should be good quality. Elderly stocks them. I have mine in a Ko'olau/Pono/Oahu case that's made for their size 5 tenor guitar....

    Re: A string breaking...often

    Well you've already gone with 9 gauge strings, which is usually the first thing to try (10 is/was standard, but makes for even more tension at the same pitch). Typically the next thing to look at is...

    Re: Blueridge BR40T or Ibanez AVT1?

    I think Lost in Croatia is wanting to go the other way, from CGDA to the more familiar GDAE. For that you need to go down in pitch to octave mandolin tuning and use heavier gauge strings. I'm usually...
  22. Re: Recommendations for a tenor to hold lower tunings

    The low end of your desired tuning is well within the range of any tenor guitar - the G in your low GCEA is the same as in the common GDAE octave mandolin tuning. The rest is up to build quality and...
