    I think tenor guitars are very interesting, though I have no idea how to play tenor guitar. I enjoy listening to someone playing old timey tunes or some Tiny Grimes-esque runs on tenors. Every once in a while a very cool looking tenor guitar comes along, and this is one of them. I saw it posted in the Mandolin Cafe classifieds.

    1954 Gibson Es-175 Tenor (Blonde)... Cool!

    John Lawlor is your man for that. It’s tuned like tenor banjo, I think: CGDA

    Wow I have never seen or even heard of that.

    That is a real unicorn. BEAUTIFUL tint on that blonde wood. I'd get it just for how it looks, even if I couldn't play it.
