Nice choice
Thanks.
I gotta run this by the repair section, but I'm thinking I need to put some humidity back into this before I glue anything.
Careful with the humidity. I nearly ruined my pre-war Martin tenor with too much. The glues they used back then were mot as strong as today.
Nice little guitar, Cornfield has a point though as the two I have worked on were extremely easy to take apart.
I completely rebuilt one with X bracing & re glued the back & neck of the other one.
In both cases I replaced the tuning pegs with mini geared banjo pegs.
Thanks for the tip. I was thinking that I would just use one of those guitar case tube-things.
Would that be overkill?
It's kind of cool that the red-white-green herringbone rosette has a Christmas theme. Enjoy your new (old) tenor.

I'm giddy with anticipation. Havent't got it in the mail yet.
Just a side question: what is the "third route" and how does it apply to tenor guitars?

Jim, the OP had a previous thread where he was deciding between a Goldtone and a Kala tenor guitar but opted to go for the Regal instead.

Hah! I thought it was some sort of literary or movie reference.
