Hi all, I've just won a Kay archtop on eBay for 350 USD and wondering if I've been taken. Guess my bidding got a bit out of control. It looks pretty sweet,...
... At first glance 350 dollars seems a bit stiff for a Kay at Ebay. This one looks like it's in very good condition, so the price might be quite fair. ... The...
I think if it had a truss rod, there would be one of those access plates up on the headstock, and there isn't one...looks nice, though, thin neck! Kays are a...
David, The electric Harmony looks very fascinating. I've never seen a cutaway Harmony tenor before, and being electric makes it even more unusual, and...
Hi Folks: That Harmony is NOT a Tenor guitar as advertised on eBay, and I sent the seller a list of questions, none of which he answered on the auction site....
Hi Steve: I could scan the Harmony catalogue page for you if you would like to see the photo & description of the bass. It listed for $110.00, plus an...
I also sent that seller a "question" and suggested he post the scale length--and pointed out that the dot inlay was on the 9th fret--like a standard guitar...
Re: [Tenor Guitar Registry] Kay ArchtopThanks for doing the research, I was thinking of possibly splurging. I don't need a bass, especially a "rare tenor...
The little black "finger rest" just below the pick up as well as the style of the tailpiece would indicate this is most definitely a short scale (30") bass....
... I bought a Harmony in Prince George in about 1966, for about the same price. I am pretty sure it's an H1201, but the markings inside are really faint and...
I emailed this guy about the fingerrest too. He's not really the sharpest tool in the shed. When I suggested he measure the scale to see if it really was a...
That Harmony catalogue sounds as it has very interesting contents. Thanks for the offer, TeeCal, but I will pass on it. I've got my hands full enough with...
Josh, I'm not familiar with tuning a tenor like this but we have lots of uke player who tune their tenor to uke tuning so I've forwarded this message to our...

Probably the most common tuning for uke players using the TG is to tune like the baritone uke, DGBE. The TG could be considered a very large baritone uke. Last...
I am not too familiar with this either, however just from looking at the physics of the question, the standard guitar set is designed for a longer scale, thus...
... I always keep one of my tenors tuned to uke tuning (low G). There are two problems with what you propose. The first is that by taking the middle four ...
I have just been given an old Gibson tenor and would love to find out more about it. How is the best way to get info on it? The story on it is that it belonged...

Gordon, See if you can get hold of the Gruhn/Carter Guide to Vintage Instruments. It has a lot of information about Gibson tenors in it. Otherwise, you can...
There is a chat room available for tenor players at Paltalk. We open it most Wednesdays at 1:00 pm Pacific Time. People work so it's not the most convenient...
-- One thing for sure with the old Gibsons, they are a very lightly built guitar and that along with the age means DON'T string it up with heavy guage strings...
I concur with Jeff. My 30s era Gibson TG-1 is very poorly made and it has its share of problems -- the back is coming off at the lower bout and the bracing is...
