    Don't know about the GT but love my Blueridge, I see that Blueridge is offering 3 different models of the tenor now, I believe one is solid wood, no plywood. Nice guitars wish they would try a mandolin.

    Well, you're in luck, "they" have! Blueridge is Saga, whose brand names for mandolins are Kentucky, Rover and Trinity College. Possibly made in the same plant(s).

    I've tried them both in stores and liked the Blueridge better. Sound, neck, general attractiveness. Much like a Blueridge guitar I once owned. Since I don't play guitar much I sold it to someone in my jam who now always brings it instead of her Martin. I think she finds it easier to play.

    Does anyone know the fretboard radius on the Blueridge and/or the Gold Tone tenor guitars?
    I assume the boards on Gibson TGs have a radius of 12", while the necks on Martin TGs have a 14" radius.
    This seems to be a very difficult spec to find.
