    Re: New Ibanez Tenor

    Re: New Ibanez Tenor

    I like the parlour* guitar size. Fits comfortably while reclined in the chaise.
    I went to the Ibanez site to find the body dimensions (bouts, waist and depth) but no joy. I registered at their...

    Re: Tenor Guitar Gallery & Sightings

    At first glance it looks long enough to be a plectrum, but after comparing it to the Style 1 National plectrum at Notecannons I'm not so sure. The site is written in frames so I can't give a direct...

    Nor does she. Maybe the photographer was sporting an "I Love Heavy Metal" neck tie.

    Ooooh... in-dig-na-tion.

    First encounter with the tenor guitar

    When I first discovered this forum it was populated mainly by old-time/folk players (if you'll pardon my vocabulary) but since then it seems other disaffected refugees from the 6 string hegemony...

    Re: Levin Tenor Guitar 1954

    Ronnie, that is a hot looking box. And the bass player is particularly elegant. Hard to keep up sometimes I bet. Any more tunes to share?

    Just to set the record straight... that was a tenor. Mea big culpa. :cow:
    Here's the link.

    At the moment (if you're least ways interested) I'm wailin' on my new Pignose. Just arrived. For my...

    Re: Electric Tenor Guitar Build

    That looks like pretty damned nice. Will you update us as the build progresses? Tell me, what's with tuning one and a half tones lower than "standard" (CGDA)? Just curious. Not butting heads. Maybe...
  15. Re: c1928 Vega plectrum flat top guitar serial #36797

    Nice. Remarkably light weight haven't they? I agree with you about "presence". The plectrum's longer strings give the sound even more breadth, released from the higher tension of the tenor's shorter...

    I've found reference to it in the 1928 Vega catalog (page 22 of the catalog, page 25 of the pdf) so I'll...

    I've been having so much fun playing I've neglected to tell you all I have a Republic Highway 49 now. It arrived just after Christmas. No, there's no on-board pickup but it's good and loud. Heavy...
