Re: Restringing the Ibanez AVT1 Tenor as an Octave Mandolin
Specs show a 22+ inch scale, which is well within the octave mandolin range. I'd just buy a set of octave mandolin strings, put 'em on, and see what you get.
Here's some string recommendations for "tenor guitar - octave mandolin tuning" I found on the internet:
Octave Mandolin Tuning
G D A E 23" Scale
040 025 015 011 x-Light
042 027 017 012 Light
045 029 019 013 Medium
Haven't tried it myself, so, for what it's worth...
