Thanks Allen. Your assumption is correct. Much of that info comes from the Cafe.
I thought this would be the place to ask, as a number of members have (or have had) them.

Ouch! from the pac rim.

Somebody must already have made the point that F styles must have been out of the world oddities when they first appeared.

Yeah, I didn't read the entire thread

Well now that I've taken a look $300 seems to be the current asking.

I'm resisting the $75 Stadium on ebay.

There seem to have been a lot of them on ebay the past few months. If the seller used those as a price guide, then they looked at the highest priced. That might be about 3x going price.

Of the various vintage I've had half of the "full size" 15-16" wide bodied have had "full sized" headstock. The ones with smaller heastock tend to be narrower than shorter compared to their six...

Not so I think, my compatriot. Since this discussion has turned to folk music and roots/evolution of the song; you would have learned The Travellers version with lyrics by Sid Dolgay the mandocello...

I have a 57 Ibanez round hole archtop guitar... with gold sparkle pickguard. They made "higher-end" blingier models and mando's along the same lines.

I don't think this one's an Ibanez

Looking at the two I can't help but see the early Simpsons (Tracey Ullman Show) and the tamed down later Simpsons drawing. Brash and then smoothed out and less likely to offend.

That, or bring your kid to work day.

My mother was brought up to believe that corporal punishment was motivating. Not entirely untrue, but a lot of downside.

I do agree with you. It seems I don't put a lot of time into string...

So you all understand. I'm not complaining. Yes, I'd prefer pricing was shown on the listings page, but no matter. This was just something I was curious about.

Sometimes I shop (window shop at...

I don't want to open the ad if it's what I'm looking for. If I'm not looking for a guitar, I don't want to look at guitar ads. If I'm not looking for an instrument priced well beyond my budget, same....

Have to see if they do get back together to tour, and hope they come to the west coast.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "a good tenor guitar", "a pretty penny" and "cheap enough". Then there is the hope that your luthier won't cost too much.... Definitely ask what they'll charge...

"The trouble with normal is it always gets worse."

Oh dear, the acronym. Fender Alternate Reality Tele Tenor.

Or tune it as a tenor guitar...?

I was saddened to see the tone the conversation had take. I've found the cafe to be such a breath of fresh air in the online world. I've mentioned this in face to face conversations; how welcoming,...

Charley, Do you know if they were calling it Chicago tuning, or just that it was in use?

In any case this doesn't mean that some marketer didn't suggest to their retailers to use the term for the...

A year or two ago someone on the TGR explained. He bought a tenor in the 60's when the folk craze was waning. The music store was promoting tenors guitars tuned to "Chicago tuning". The store owner...

I've used this on a Gold Tone and on a '67 Teisco. No idea what adhesives they used, but it worked really well. I Probably goes w/o saying, but go slow.
