Nice to be back in the shop. I have gotten back to Photography earlier than ever. NOT complaining about Biz. Just yapping about being out of the shop

Got the neck bolt on set up 1/2 done. All of the holes are drilled. I made a temporary Jig for the neck and body.
A trip to Ace hardware should have me set up with my version of the Collings system. The thread is in the neck, protruding into the body, where you attach a nut. Seems so much easier than threading a screw through the block.
With that need for hardware stall I went onto glueing on the headplate.

Tenors are fun to play. I played my loaner for an hour last night. Just plucking notes for Over the Rainbow and such. What pretty tones.

Looking into these cool little guitars there seems to be a market. eBay always astonishes me with what old mediocre to great brands go for. What I also noticed was it is rare to find a builder of the Tenor Guitars. If I start making these little guys/gals anyone interested? What would you do different? Post here or drop me a note.
