tenor SG???

[chrisjedijane]

I was doing a bit of research on the Tenor guitar, and found a picture of two tenor SGs:


Sorry for the crap pic, I can't find any better ones. I particularly like the "standard", with the bigsby and the little 4-saddle tune-o-matic! I've seen one Tenor Les Paul Junior, but never an SG. Weird, huh?

wow, i've never seen those before either. they're pretty cool, but somehow the gibson tenors always remind me of this guy:



must be the relatively big headstock on that tiny neck...

[chrisjedijane]

hehe, definitely! You'd think that they would have scaled the headstock down a little, or something...

I've seen pictures of a genuine late 50s Gibson Les Paul sunburst tenor. Two more strings and it'd have been worth a fortune.

I've always thought those were cool. Neko Case uses one too.

I love those tenor SGs ever since seeing Neko Case use one.  She talked about them in an article in Fretboard Journal; she tunes DGBE like the top four strings of a guitar.

Neko r00ls.  And her white Tenor is gorgeous.

I've got a tenor uke that I have in the same tuning as Neko's SG.  It sounds different because the G string is the fattest and the D string is smaller and higher.

I'm pretty interested in getting a tenor guitar - I've heard some recently and they sound great

I've wanted one too, but it's hard to find electric tenors (acoustic aren't too hard to find, but a lot of them have those creepy ukelele-style tuning pegs that you just shove in....I can't get with that  ).  There is some guy called Soaras'y (or something) who makes and sells tele-style tenors on Ebay, but I'd want to play one first.
