Had my eyes on a Ibanez tenor guitar. Saw my two smaller Ashton boxes on a shelf so gave it a whirl. Incredible acoustic sound and with zero fret string action is awesome. Piezo pickup.

Thanks Dennis, Dave and Uncle.  I hollowed out the area between leaving 3/8 inch on the bottom and sides for  the glue to hold  I  figure the pull of the strings will help keep the top together. The neck is 1 and 1/2 wide and a 23 inch scale.   If I make another I'll  make a tapered neck but it suits my old fIngers well.  I  did standard DGBE tuning on this one.

Wow, you made a winner there.  Glad is sounds do good.  That nut placement has to be a factor for the good.  Are there holes between the adjoined boxes?  I assume there are.  

I briefly had an Ibanez tenor- I think it was the solid top and it was the smaller of the two they offered.  It played and sounded good, but the neck was so narrow!   I am not easy on guitars and that narrow neck scared me.  It was from Musicians Friend and they are good about letting customers return guitars.  So I returned it.

I love tenors.  I am much better on them than a six.  I had a Harmony tenor and sold it.  I have another 50s Harmony tenor that someone antiqued.  Nice guitar, but I seldom play it.  I prefer to play my home mades.  The tenor I regret gifting away was a small bodied -Silvertone?  - I forget.  It was a six that I converted to a tenor with a Maddog made hammered paint can resonator.  Darn.  I wish I had kept that one.

Beauty ! I like the double box idea. Love to hear a sound sample.
