I just fixed this guy up the other day. Very fun tenor guit, and of course tuned GDAE at the moment!

It's fun to try out one of these "full body" Kalamazoo-style tenors. I'm familiar with the squashed KG-11 shaped tenors but this one is very different. It's got a lot more low-end presence and volume (though the KG-11 type are great, too).

Here's the full blog post (http://antebelluminstruments.blogspot.com/2013/05/c1935.html) and here are the pics...

I love it, would like to get a flat top tenor sometime. Where the side dots original on this one? I have a Cromwell archtop that does not have the side dots.

Nope, I added the dots as it drives me crazy to peer over the board after the 7th fret... :)
