Tele Tenor

[Ruben Mutiny]

Has anyone else been intrigued by this new product which was introduced at NAMM?https://www.elderly.com/catalog/pro...-reality-tenor-tele-lake-placid-blue/#details
I think I’d prefer butterscotch blonde!

 

[Oldtoolie]

Interesting. Am I correct in saying this works as a baritone uke?

 

[KohanMike]

In an instant I would make that a bass, but I have a custom made 22" scale Tele bass already.

23" scale is well beyond bari uke territory to me, but I'm sure you could tune it to DGBE with the right strings

 

[Ruben Mutiny]

Elderly’s description appears to come from Fender. Apparently the manufacturer’s default tuning is DGBE, though tuning in fifths is certainly an option. I’m primarily a soprano or concert guy, but I’ve always had a soft spot for telecasters. I’ve also fancied a tenor guitar for a long time, so this might satisfy two urges at once.

Oddly enough, Elderly shows the SKU for this instrument as FARTTLPB.

The knobs are all in a straight line, looks really odd. Overall i like the look of Eastwood tenors more.

GCEA is also an accepted alternate tuning
