As a quick intro, I play baritone ukulele but I tune it in 5ths GDAE. It essentially acts as an octave mandolin with nylon strings; I use The E, A, G and B strings from a pack of medium-gauge classical guitar strings, so it's 2 nylon 2 wound.
It got me thinking hmm...this is basically a tenor guitar. So I took a Les Paul, removed the 1st and last tuners and tuned the instrument GDAE. Boom; electric tenor.
This is obviously a bit of a "rigged" tenor, though, and I'd really like to pick up a proper, well-built electric soon. The only one that I know of is the Eastwood Warren Ellis model, which a friend of mine has and plays quite well, but it's mass-produced.
So...any tenor players out there? Recommendations for an electric tenor?
