    Did anybody talk to the Eastwood people at NAMM about when these might be available? Or was this - and I hate to ask - a one-off?

    Word is the tenor will be hitting the street soon. It's been named after Warren Ellis (e-mando/violin/multi-instrument player for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds).

    Hm. With those string gauges they must have it set up for OM tuning.

    Warren Ellis usually plays GDAE instruments (mandocaster, Violin, Bouzouki)... I think this guitar can be tuned like that...
    I will see Grinderman in Paris the 26th of october... If the band speaks with its fans, I will ask some question to Warren...

    i have just received my tenor electric from eastwood this morning. it is well made.the action is low,no string buzz anywhere. tuners,volume,tone work great. proper intonation out of box. no complaints the strings are spaced wide kinda like a bass. great sound from the single rail pickup

    Hereby & forthwith, any instrument with an odd number of strings shall be considered broken. With regard to mix levels, usually the best approach is treating the mandolin the same as a cowbell.
