    Default Frank Tate Tenor

    my new tenor is nearly ready and isnt it beautiful, i had been looking around for one for a while but was hooked from the minute i first heard Colm McNaughon's wonderful playing on his Tate tenor. out of his first batch of four, only one was remaining, which Frank had planned to keep for himself but gentleman that he is, he caved in and let me have it all the more pleasing as its made from mahogany reclaimed from the shipyard in my home town of Belfast.

    There's nothing to dislike about that guitar. Excellent.
