Hello All,

I know there have been some recent threads about this - but does anyone have any tenor guitar plans?

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

I have dawn up some plans that I am happy to share. I have a student that is building his first guitar from the plans at the moment and is more than halfway through the build. I probably need to make a couple of adjustments but if you want the plans where they are up to, I'm happy with that. It is full size PDF that I printed out at OfficeWorks for only a few dollars. If I can work out a way to attach the PDF to this post I will try. Oh wait, I'll just try a link to it. It is 23" scale length and I have added a template at the base of the file that can be used to cut off and stick it to the fretboard for accurate fret positions.

Let me know if this is helpful.

So, the first guitar form these plans is done! This was my first student and he did a great job.

Tassie Blackwood back and sides
Cedar soundboard (and bracing)
Recycled Cedar neck
Gidgee Bridge and fretboard

Will get some recordings up soon.

For those wanting a video/sound sample, this is a very short iPhone vid. Already starting to open up a bit.
