    Default Electric tenors?

    Hi all, this is a long shot, but does anybody know where a guy could get a tenor telecaster or something along those lines? There's a very pretty example here that Joel Eckhaus makes - http://www.earnestinstruments.com/tenorcaster.html - but I was hoping to spend less than that.

    Thanks, Trevor

    Many of the other emando luthiers will also make you a tenor version.

    Mike Soares also used to import solidbody telecaster shaped tenors from China (that were generally nicer than his Portuguese imports), but I'm not sure he does that anymore. Sometimes these pop up on ebay.

    One of the Soares'ys is in the Classifieds right now ... NFI. I've dealt with the seller and he's a good guy.
