Helm, I was hoping you would pick up on this thread. You're the only one that seems to be an addicted player here. They're surely others here but it seems like most are still looking for their first guitar or something.
Anyway, I think the picture may have given a false impression. Check out this site for the low-down.
http://www.tenorguitar.com/glance.html The neck is only 23 inches long. It's closer to guitar size than bass, maybe smaller than a guitar. I'm not sure.
One of the tunings listed is the first four strings of a guitar. I've opted to drop the E string a whole step, so now it's tuned like the first four strings of a five string banjo. This will give me an opportunity to brush up on chords and voicings without driving my wife nuts with the banjo, apparently they're just too damn loud for her. She's not home now so I think I'll go hammer on it for a while.
Here's another couple of tenors I thought you'd like.
I've never heard of the digital volume pedal, I'll have to look further into that.
While I've got your attention (if you come back) Macabre is playing less than a mile from my house some time in March. Murder Metal Bliss flooding the Bible Belt. I can hardly wait.
