Mike, the tenor with resonater on E-Bay looks pretty cool. Will you be offering a "plectrum" version(by special order or just having them in stock)? I assume...
Hi from, Mike. Thank you all. I just wanted you all to know that all payed orders have been shipped. If your payment is in the mail or you are an Ebay bidder....

Folks, Recently acquired a Vintage Martin R18TG. Lovely sound and easy to play. It was a lucky find and one that I was not expecting. Currently tuned octave...
I just bought the Framus tenor on ebay tonight. I'm hoping I made a good purchase. Will let you know what I think of it in case anyone else discovers one. If...
Looks like a very cool one, and a great price! The arched back will be distinctive, and the new tuners will make you happy I'm sure!The obvious clue to the age...
According to the guitar Bluebook, Framus used the last two numbers of the serial number to indicate the year of manufacture. Bluebook also says Framus had 7...
I've just noticed that the Framus 'tenor' guitar has a scale length of 24.75 inches which means it will not be possible to tune it to a conventional CGDA tenor...
Hi Steve: Not to be picky, but I believe 1954 ends with serial #141345. Martin serial number 143542 should be 1955. Martin serial numbers are available in...
Well, this doesn't sound good. I was anticipating the standard CGDA tuning. Based on my lack of guitar knowledge, I thought a tenor guitar was a tenor guitar...
You are sort of on the borderline. Go ahead and tune CGDA. If your A string snaps then you know you need a different tuning. You can tune in fifths but might...
James, Thanks for that correction - you are dead right! As usual I was looking it up in my Gruhn/Carter in a hurry and was careless! Sorry for the confusion....
Doug, Sorry about the bad news and also for not noticing the odd scale length earlier. Framus make tenor banjos and one would assume their tenor guitars would...
Steve, Thanks for your very informative response. After our gig tomorrow night, I'll be contemplating what I'm going to do over a pint of Guinness....or two. ...
You might also try A--E--B--F# Down 3 half steps from the standard tuning. You can capo back up to CGDA, and you might like the lower sound anyway. DGW...
A favorite topic of this group--string gauges and tunings!!!How long has it been since we've argued over this? Three weeks at least, I'd guess. Seriously, at...
Doug, I had the same problem with my Corean tenor guitar (Carlos). It has a scale length of 25,5 inches. An expert (builder of guitars) adviced me to tune like...
