#770- Spruce and Mahogany Tenor Guitar

This is my third tenor guitar based on the old Regal pattern. It’s bigger than a baritone uke, but still appropriate for a four string instrument. It’s got ladder bracing, steel strings, a tailpiece and a floating bridge. It’s punchy, sweet and sings with a nice sustain. The Sitka Spruce top and neck are from Vancouver Island. The Mahogany back and sides were salvaged from a Tacoma boat shop. The Walnut fretboard, headplate and binding are from a tree in Hood River. It has geared Gotoh tuners, a K&K pickup and a rustic star inlaid on the fretboard.
