I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Very trick mandolin bridge!
And dual bound ebony fretboards.

Nice.  It looks like a double neck where the necks have atrophied.

I can't tell you how many songs I play where I have to switch back and forth between mandolin and tenor guitar -- this would be such a timesaver!

Seriously, this is one of the craziest "guitars" I've seen.

I remember Southworth had a '59 Gibson Les Paul tenor guitar.  Gil said something like "as is: $10,000.  Two more strings and it'd be $150,000!"

Here's a guy with a nice vintage tenor guitar collection:
