Someone put a lot of effort in to building this one.......

Well it depends where you want the bridge and how long the scale is but if you want a 23” scale with the bridge in the middle lower bout, then there will be an optimum size.
21’’ scale normally have...

Well done how does it work for you?

[QUOTE=HQentity;1802996]The gorgeous guitar arrived yesterday and my fingers are red raw from all the playing!

One thing I spotted was a hairline crack from the bridge to the bottom of the lower...

I am glad you are happy with you purchase and enjoying playing it, did you incur any import duties or VAT?

Lovely guitars, good set up and some string choice experiments will see you very happy once all sorted.
The Blueridge can take quite heavy strings if that is your thing but for GDAE I would...

I will send him a message and try to find out a bit more......

The bids went up to £130 but did not reach the reserve.
If he adds a postage option and quotes the scale length I think it would sell easily!

I dont get why he has put pick up only especially with covid around!
In any case pick up only sales, always go for far less than postage sales so you could get a bargain.
It is an interesting...

The market is always going up and down but there has been lots of tenors for sale in the last few weeks.
I saw this one come up yesterday ........

A bit loose perhaps but should be Ok
12p 18w 30w 45w is a nice set and what i use or 13 20 30 46 if you want a bit more tension but it might depend on your guitars make and model and your playing...

There are already hundreds and hundreds of post on here about string choice ....
Firstly ... it is still very popular to tune CGDA on 23’’ tenor guitars and tenor banjos and has been for a long...

Well try and get you head around this as it is surprising but a .9 tuned to A on a 23#» scale will be close to its natural breaking strain but... so will a .10 or a .12 or a .20
The thicker strings...

Ha ha i often carry one in my pocket especially around this time of year (Christmas) but never mastered playing guitar and harp at the same time!

Hi Huck yep sold the blueridge 40t but i have kept one of my own made 21’’ scale tenors and a harmony baritone uku tuned in 5ths plus two tenor banjos .
I also have a half finished tenor guitar in...

Rob, there is such a limited market in the UK and it is so easy to flood it.
i have sold around 20 tenors this year, that is most of my collection and found it really hard to get half of what i...

I think you should just carry on as you are, you may find that over time you will naturally start to use all your fingers In a different way.
I know several superb tenor guitar players who prefer...

I have tried a few times but found that anything that could actually be tuned to pitch felt very unstable and volatile at full scale.
One way is to use all six strings but use CC GDAE but that...

Hi Rick, you are a bit secretive about your guitar but if it is a new model or a good condition vintage 23’’ scale then the chances are it will sound great a feel great with a set made up with a...

The bLueridge is a great guitar, whether a vintage Martin will sound or perform better may well be a personal opinion or may depend on the individual guitar.
There is for some people, a certain...

Looks really nice.....

You have two guitars tune one in 5ths and one in 4ths.
Strings are cheap enough, buy sets or buy guitar singles.
There are also plenty of books and videos for mandolin .. maybe more than baritone...

Well you can have hours of innocent fun getting to grips with a string tension calculator Like this one http://www.mcdonaldstrings.com/stringxxiii.html

If you choose to use nylon strings, you may achieve...
