    Default 13 tenors available in the UK

    Here is a list of readily available tenor guitars in the UK, there are probably more?

    Fylde, although there's a waiting list a mile long. Alister Atkin will make one as well, as will Jimmy Moon - they both have examples on their websites. Do Breedlove still make one?

    The Martin LX Tenor is long discontinued now.

    The Kala discussed on the recent thread is due into the UK by the end of the year - the shop I work for has one on order.

    Looks like Ozark have realised that the parlour-sized 3372 was rather a bargain -- when I bought it a few years ago, it was 190 Pounds including hard case, so it's gone up by over 50% while the competing Ashbury model has stayed much the same price. Glad I went for the Ozark, it's a great little player.

    I was amazed when I visited the music stall at the Cropredy festival just how many tenor guitars they had on display. If I remember right, they had seven or eight different ones right there to pick up and try out. I didn't keep a list, but I'm fairly sure that included at least a couple of models that are not listed above, as I don't think they had either the Ozark or the Ashbury line there.

    I bought my Ozark 9 months ago with a soft case for £190.
    I love it too, I have a Blueridge that is also nice but, I always seem to reach for the little Ozark.
    There seems to be a real surge of tenors on the market right now
