It's tuned standard to CGDA (same as a tenor banjo) or you can switch it up to standard guitar treble side with DGBE, in addition to \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/rycooder.nl\/pages\/tenor_gauges.htm\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Ry Cooder list of tenor guitar alternate tunings\"\u003emany other tunings\u003c\/a\u003e. The tenor's been a part of Celtic, country and traditional music for decades and while it's a bit of a rarity, it has seen a resurgence. Artists from Neko Case (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-IKwSvU3ZTg\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Neko Case playing a tenor guitar\"\u003echeck her out playing a tenor here\u003c\/a\u003e) and Ry Cooder to Jason Molina are all proponents of the tenor. This particular T1 has a lively sound, real clarity and just look at it - this is one of the coolest looking guitars we've seen. And yes, that Western Shaded Top burst (high gloss nitrocellulose) finish is absolutely perfect. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat perfect finish is on a Sitka Spruce top, paired with gloss Mahogany back and sides, both which contribute to its great tone. The Mahogany neck has a comfy V shape and an Ebony fretboard. Playability is just wonderful with a 23\" scale, 1 9\/32\" nutwidth and 1 11\/32\" string spacing. Check out the details too, like the cool 'rope' binding, Waverly tuners, bone nut and saddle, just to name a few.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCollings T1 SB Tenor Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a beautifully appointed, comfortable player that is about as versatile a stringed instrument as you can find - includes a Collings hard case and a setup to your specs from our luthiers too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: T1 SB Tenor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Sikta Spruce with Western Shaded Top gloss finish and Tortoise-style pickguard and Rope style binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack and Sides: Mahogany, gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 23\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Mahogany with V profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Ebony with Mother-of-Pearl dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 20 Medium 18% nickel-silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: 1 9\/32\", Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle: Bone Drop-in with 1 11\/32\" string-spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Ebony Belly-style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Waverly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: .012, .016, .024, .035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Hardshell Case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial#: 23801\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Collings","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":1115517744,"sku":"T1 SB","price":3825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/0250\/products\/collings-tenor-1sb-front-3.jpg?v=1421871996","url":"https:\/\/massstreetmusic.mom\/products\/collings-t1sb-tenor-guitar","provider":"Mass Street Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
