Hi, I'm interested in getting a tenor guitar, because I want more projection when playing unplugged outdoors and steel strings definitely help. (Sadly amps are not allowed for busking in my city.)
Since a vintage instrument is too expensive, I was looking at this one here which I found at a shop in England:
An Ozark electro acoustic cutaway tenor guitar.
I like the idea of having the electric option, too. Unfortunately I haven't found any sound samples online yet... so I thought it would be a nice idea just to ask around here. Please let me know what you think!
My question about tuning
It comes with "Standard" C tuning - C G D A. But I would like to restring it for "Chicago" baritone uke tuning - D G B E so that I can use the uke chord shapes on it. Do you think the saddle has to be modified for D G B E tuning? And what about slide guitar tunings? Do they require a modified saddle, too?
