Here is my converted Eastman Airline e-mandola, converted to a tenor e-guitar, it plays and sounds fantastic, 18" scale lets me do things I can't on longer scale tenors.
I am currently taking lessons from a guitar player, to learn better rhythm accompaniment patterns, I need to post a recording soon of some of what can be done a on a tenor. We are having fun trying to be creative about taking what sounds good on a 6 string and trying to emulate it on a 4.
I have started calling myself a tenor guitar player instead of calling it an octave mandolin. Something about that makes things easier.
Davey Stuart tenor guitar (based on his 18" mandola design).

Peter Frampton
I don´t think Frampton is playing much tenor guitar. But according to an interview I´ve read this Selmer tenor was a gift from a music producer from France and it was indeed Djangos tenor guitar that he had lying around in his house (or maybe caravan ;-)).
In any case, it looks nice on the photo.

Yeah and it is a nice looking guitar but I don’t know who made it?
I did a bit more research and even joined a fan group on Facebook but no more details about the guitar however I did learn that Kirk was a talented tenor banjo player and a pretty good trumpet player too.

This is my favourite tenor guitar moment or two. In fact, I have stopped playing my tenor guitars having viewed this clip. Otto "Coco" Heimel is the skilled player.

That tenor guitar played by Kirk Douglas appears to show the neck joining the body at fret 12. I think that Kay and Harmony flat top tenors showed 14 frets to the body- my Kay does. I imagine that with early tenor guitars it is a different story. My 1927 Windsor Whirle which has a 20.5 inch scale shows 12 frets to the body.
Borrowed my brother's baritone ukulele/tenor guitar for this Kenny Rogers Tribute. RIP Kenny

TENOR-PLECTRUM GUITAR COMPARISON PHOTO. My late 1930s Vega Advanced C-66P next to a 60s Harmony Monterey tenor. (I added the pickup/pickguard unit. I play it through a Fender Jazz King amp.) Plectrum has a 26" scale, tenor is 23". The Vega has a 17" bout, The tenor is 16". The Vega is without question the finest sounding AND playing plectrum guitar I have ever played...a real keeper!
