1934 Gibson TG-00

FON 895. A rare find. For anyone who thinks a tenor guitar has to sound like a tin can and be strung with barbwire, this one will be a revelation. With a full, rich tone, matching any 30's L-00, this guitar has lot to offer. Tuned in fifths (traditionally C-G-D-A) I play mine tuned down as low as a guitar (E-A-F#-B), giving a big sound that belies the four strings. This instrument will add a whole new dimension for a recording guitarist, and open new doors for mandolin players. The guitar is in great shape, with a few tight and well-repaired cracks, and has tuners that were replaced most probably in the 1940's. The nut is 1 1/8" wide, and the action is great with plenty of room for future adjustment. An exciting guitar. With new hard case.
