This instrument is based on the old Regal tenor guitar, the first four string guitar mass produced in America. It is lightweight, sweet and versatile with a unique tone. It feels like a hybrid of a banjo, a ukulele and a guitar. The body size is just a little bigger than a baritone uke, but the longer scale, steel strings and floating bridge give it a whole different voice and feel.
