What we are looking at....ok first one on the left is my daughters Harmony Vita-tenor, a great sounding guitar with a beautiful one piece back of killer fiddle back mahogany, best guess made around 1930 something, next a old Gibson, then a 30's Bacon tenor, a 41 Martin 5-17t and last a 20's Regal "custom shop" tenor. That Regal is a great sounding little box tuned CGDA and the most responsive one of the bunch with its floating bridge. My main tenor is a different Bacon Banjo Co. tenor also from the 30's thats tuned GDAE. Its got cracks all over but it also has the sound I was looking for so I don't notice 'em much. As ya can see I've been thru a lot looking for the right one's for me and only have the Regal and Bacon still with me. If I ever get some more money my next will be a old (or new) Metal bodied resonator...maybe.
Look up (to see whats comin down)
