23 inch solid body Tenor Guitar #165

Posted by G.S. Monroe on July 23, 2015 at 8:05pm

Howdy folks.... I have returned to CBN.

I would like to show you one of my recent builds, a 4 string solid body electric Tenor Guitar.

The body is made of recovered American Chestnut from a 17th Century Danish Barn in the Hudson river region of New York. The neck is hand carved from my increasingly popular Florida cypress.

It has a Victory Goldfoil pickup, 500k Volume & Tone pots and a beefy .100 capacitor from a mid 1970's Gibson Bass. You can hear it on this video.

    I'm using GDAD tuning, Alternate GDAE Mandola tuning.

    The tuning is more familiar to me since I don't play regular guitar (DGBE) as well.
