Looking for recommendations on a seller/builder who makes good tenors with an 18-inch scale, among other things....
My ultimate ideal would be an ultra-mellow 1940s-50s Martin tenor, BUT with a thicker neck and a longer scale (I like to tune it dGBE with all-nylon strings, which is easier on a longer scale. Though I should also emphasize that I definitely don't want a baritone - I have played and owned many baritones, including the shorter-scaled Hora, and am looking for something a bit different.)
So I'm looking for something that resembles that. I'd appreciate any advice as well as video and audio clips.
Relatedly, I'm wondering if anyone here has an 18-inch-scale Ono and plays it low G GCEA or dGBE, and would be able to send me a recording? I know that's a long shot but I figured it was worth asking!
