Nice vid, I've really begun to enjoy Eastwood tenors as they're great guitars

The TG 150 looks very nice , and has a beautiful sound ; i don't know if tuned A D G C would sound a lot different. However, i think that among all the tenors that i've seen , this is one of the best ( just my opinion) . Regards , Patrick from Italy

@@patrickbuzzo1970 A D G C is a tuning I’ve never played in. What type of music do you normally play in that tuning?

@WorldUkulele Hi, thanx for having contacted me . I have 4 instruments and they are all tuned A D G C, because my first stringed instrument was a tenor banjo ( 1985) , i kept my banjo until the late 90's , and later i've bought an acoustic Hora Acoustic Bouzouki, i had to buy another set of strings to adapt it for that kind of tuning , because the irish Bouzouki is tuned in a different way ; same for my electric bouzouki, semi hollow , hand made, which i use with some guitar pedals ,to achieve ,as much as possible , that " Byrds sound" , even if i know that only a Rickenbacker can give you the famous Mc Guinn atmosphere . I have a band since 1988 , we play our own songs , during the years we had few tunes of known groups , for example " 100 years from now" ( the Byrds) , "It's all over now" ( written by Bob Dylan, but played like the Byrds ) , Rave on ( Nitty Gritty Dirty Band) , and , as last cover , " My Bonnie " ( the Beatles) . I also have a tenor guitar, hand made , looks like a Tenorcaster , very " twangy " . When i discovered the Eastwood brand , a new world of instruments came to my eyes , and i bought the Tenorbaritone, changed the strings with a lighter gauge, and it is very playable , the only problem , is the weight , seems a stone !! If you check on my channel , search these videos :" for Astrogerry and Enzo Rapaccioulo " , Byrd song treble booster pedal " , " from East to West " , this last video came out dark , i'm sorry , but you can hear my Hora Acoustic Bouzouki. Thanx again , i wish you all the best. Patrick from Italy 🖐

Well SIR, first of all I ENVY your long fingers..as a 5 string picker for about 50 years now, not only Bluegrass, I sure could use that extra stretch ! As with many a Kingston Trio child I got a tenor guitar as well, playing it in open G. Snagged a 1961 Gretsch Duo - Jet TENOR from Mandolin Brothers years ago...they offered me DOUBLE price to buy it back a year later...but no sale. It has a "palm vibrator" (not a dirty thing..tee hee) that has a brass piece, riveted to the tailpiece that "bends" the notes as you push it. Do not know if you are aware of Soares'y guitars, Mike Soares of Long Island build them, a variety of tenors and some 8 string ones, double courses, resonator type. Acoustic with a lipstick mic. I have a 4 and 8 string from him.He has family in Portugal with a guitar factory. They send him the finished bodies and he adds the hardware. This makes them affordable. The 4 string came with a BLUE resonator cone...for some reason ? I also found a Gibson LG-3, custom built as an 8 string, double courses by Gibson, in the 60's on E bay a while back. Maybe for some mandola player ? I use light 12 string strings, with the octave ones and it rings ! Once again, thanx..you play smoothly. Jim Clark
