Thread Name: Wanted: Tenor guitar
Subject: RE: Wanted: Tenor guitar
Okay, I've got a 1935 Gibson tenor that looks, sounds and plays great... Over the years I've had many tenors, including a 1955 00-17 Martin, an S.S. Stewart arch top, a Harmony Arch top, a Harmony flat top but this one is the absolute best palying tenor I've ever found, other than a 1932 Plectum Tricon National Steel that if I had had the dough to buy ($4000) I would have....

Anyway, I really wasn't even thinkin' of selling it but when I read yer post, I thought to myself, "Well, Bobert, how much does it get played?" and unfortuanately the answer is, "not too much." Yep it has definately fallen from ranks since I bought a new resonator two years ago....Throw in my '64 Martin D-18 and the poor thing really does need a new home...

Now, I'll tell you what I paid for it back around 10 years ago. $875 US. Afterall, it is a 1935 vintage guitar. I would like something in that range fir it. If you are interested either PM me or just post here and we'll see what we can do.
