Took this from Elderly's advertisement on the Konoblaster:
Blueburst with East Indian rosewood fretboard. Has a 22" scale length, strung 011 014 021w 036w, 1 3/8" nut, 18 frets, with an adjustable truss rod. The neck is maple, body solid poplar, swirly phenolic top, carpeted back and sides, with an adjustable bridge and a humbucker with volume control. Tenor guitar would be tuned CGDA, probably using the same gauges. Octave mandolin would be tuned GDAE and restrung to 011 021 036w 046w or thereabouts.
Correct me if I'm wrong, please. The Konablaster has nylon strings @ DGBE. I've done 22.9" tenor guitars with nylon (classical guitar string) and was not satisfied - sounded a bit weak. Electrifying weak just has louder weak, if that makes any sense. While classical guitars (usually playing solo) can get away with nylon, tenor guitars (and banjos) need the oomph from steel strings to compete (err...complement) dreadnaughts, electrics, 5-string banjos and mandolins.
Elderly's description regarding tenor guitar @ 5ths with the same string gauges makes me think of steel, not nylon strings. That's definitely the case for octave mandolin, as no mandolin runs on nylon. No matter how one cuts it, the sound from steel and nylon is T H A T different.
In the mandoln world there's been a fair amount of experimentation tuning ukuleles GDAE/CGDA as a matter of travel convenience. Mandolins are meant to be pick-driven, not finger-strummed in any fashion, and thus are notoriously loud (tough to play in hotel rooms). That being the situation, combined with size and cost, 5ths tuned ukuleles as travel-substitutes for mandolins has been tried for many years. That experimentation is what got me (and many others) into ukuleles, especially the smaller sizes.
If you try to "5ths" the Konoblaster, CGDA may be a better fit sound-wise and comfort-wise than GDAE. GDAE at that scale is considered "Irish" tuning on tenor guitars/banjos and fits Irish Traditional Music, while CGDA is more jazz/rock oriented. Have run my tenor guitar/banjo both ways and the tuning/strings vary by the genre.
