Hi Folks,
I just completed the restoration of this lovely Carl Fischer Terz guitar from (I assume) the turn of the century. Brazilian rosewood Back and sides, Spruce top. Roswood fingerboard.
I'm about to string it up for the first time and can't find any reference to the string gauges I need use. Since it's short scale, but tuned to a 3rd higher, I would assume I could use standard light gauge guitar strings tuned to the appropriate pitch. I did see a you tube post featuring a Martin Terz Guitar, but it was set up as a high string, a completely different animal.
Anyone have any experience with this? I appreciate any thoughts you might have.
