so i've been playing guitar since 1987 and over the years owned loads of different types of guitars as my whims have come and gone. Yesterday however I found a guitar i had totally forgotten about in the attic a 1950's toy plastic guitar with original box and strings...
i know i have an auto-chord box that attaches to the neck too but it's not in the pic. it has 4 strings but all of which are wire - anyone know anything more about these?
are they 1950's?
this one is branded 'skiffle' and it say's 'made in britain 'but were there other similar guitar out there?
how do you tune one of these? i can seem to get anything close to uke tuning out of it so do i tune like a baritone guitar?
it's almost certainly wasted on me - is this of interest to anyone? would happily part ex for a tenor uke ( i'm based in the uk)
cheers!
