Ozark tenor guitar

From Ozark Professional instruments ... A much sought after instrument by tenor banjoists and guitar players wanting a different sound . This Ozark model plays well and has a sweet tone. Tenor guitars are usually tuned in fifths (usually CGDA, similar to the tenor banjo or the viola), This tuning is very "open" and it gives the instrument unusual voicings from both open and closed chords. The fifths tuning also makes for easy moveable chord shapes. The instrument is equally well suited to both rhythm and lead playing. Other tunings are possible, such as "guitar tuning" or "Chicago tuning" DGBE, "Irish" or "octave mandolin" tuning GDAE (not recommended for this particular instrument), various "open" tunings, for slide playing and modal tunings. Case/gigbag options available for the Ozark Tenor Guiatr include; a deluxe fitted hard case or a Ritter  gig bag. A Fishman pickup with an endpin jack socket can be fitted to your guitar for £95 (see choice options).

 More information on tenor guitars ...

Tenor guitars were manufactured continuously by Gibson and Martin from the 1920s until the 1970s. National Instruments also made significant numbers of resonator tenor and plectrum guitars between the 1920s and 1940s, some of which were also used by jazz musicians as a second instrument. Dobro, another company formed by the Dopyera Brothers, as well as National Instruments, also built resonator tenor guitars.
