Hi, I've recently found (and bought) a gorgeous 1930 Gibson TG-1. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever seen a label like this. It's rectangular instead of...
Hi from, Mike. This is there Kalamazoo tag. While they are good instruments. This was there budget line. A lower priced line that was made to cover the lower...
No, that's not a Kalamazoo BRAND tag, it is merely an export label stating it was made by Gibson in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, for export outside of the US....
Not to belabor the point, but the instrument also has a truss rod cover-Kalamazoos did not have adjustable truss rods, only Gibsons. This is a 1930 Gibson. ...
Hello all. I am new to the tenor guitar but want to learn! I love the tenor guitar sound and I have decided to go for it and get one and try and transfer some...
Check out elloreeguitars.com. I own two Elloree tenors (pics in this group's photo section under "Jeff's Elloree Tenor" and "Jeff's Walnut Eloree"). Built in...
OK, to clarify my belabored point! Mike, you are right that these labels can also be found inside Kalamazoo instruments to indicate they were manufactured by...
Definitely check out elloree....as for production guitars....I've been very happy with my Gold Tone T-18. I do believe there are a few UK companies that...
I second what Jersey Jeff has said. Rick makes very nice guitars at very reasonable prices. You might also check on e-Bay for something decent in a used...
Hi from, Mike. While my LO4 Flat top is not solid wood. It is better and has a bigger tone then a regular ply top one. Even has a better tone then the Solid...
Hi from, Mike. Yes. You are right. It was only after I sent the first note that I received more photos. It is a real Gibson. Mike. Hi from, Mike Soares. 11...
The Soares'y guitars are a great deal for the money -- I have been more than happy with the three that I have. Otherwise, I see an Ozark Tenor for GBP 198 at...
I will whole heartily endorse Mike’s great budget entries too. I have one of his higher end models and it’s a gorgeous tenor. I had one of his budget 8 ...
I've got an Ozark, and it's a good deal for the money, but I ended up having to pay quite a bit extra in shipping and import duties to get it to the states. ...
Thanks, Mike, it feels good to be right once in awhile-I hope it makes up for all those times when I'm wrong! Now if I could get all my thoughts into one post...
Hi from, Mike. Glad I could help. I have been wrong, 24/7 Since May 26 1979 @ 5:00 PM. It started with a simple - I Do - Mike. Hi from, Mike Soares. 11...
Who has a little martin tenor and what do you think about it. What is the volume like and how does it play. I have seen it advertised online but never had a...
I have a Little Martin Tenor (LXM). I absolutely love it. I don't have much experience around other guitars, though. So maybe I'd be less enthusiastic if I...
I have had mine since July 2008. I also have an old Gibson TG-0 (circa 1929) and a Lark in the Morning, as well as a Soares'y "Whim." I play the LXM every day....
hi all! i've been wanting to get a tenor for some time now. i've really enjoyed the posts and the info here. i am going to see a guy with a carlos tenor guitar...
thanks steve! i couldn't find photos on the internet... until now!!! again... thanks steve... any other info on this brand of tenor guitar from anyone is...
My pleasure, Jim. I've never actually seen or played one myself but I understand they are a good quality instrument. I guess it depends on the price. I am...
thanks for ALL the info you had! i've found a few things poking around... one said $150-200 tops... most around $100.00 and the guy i'm going to see wants...
Hi Michael I think sometimes guitars are like our mothers' best china. There was the everyday set of crockery... unmatched and maybe with the odd chip or...
Hi Jim, $90 sounds like a good price to me. They are basically Japanese/Korean budget line instruments from the 70s/80s but they seem to have a reputation...
thanks again steve! maybe mark will read these messages and write something. i've found a model called a TG207 that was a tenor guitar. goodnight... i'm going...
Hi Jim, The Carlos Tenor on the Findajo site is mine. I'm selling it because it's perhaps not best suited to the kind of music I mostly play, which really...
I have played a little Martin Tenor (modern) and found it to be very similar to most other modern Martins. Mellow, warm but not extraordinarily loud. I have a...
