Regal "Le Domino" tenor, c1930s

A mean and moody tenor from one of America's best known early guitar manufacturers. All solid woods - Spruce top, Birch back and sides underneath the black finish - with a loud, chiming tone and comfortable setup. We've seen a few Regal tenors over the years, most of which are Martin size 5 copies with floating bridges. This fellow is a chunkier affair, closer to size 0 and with a fixed bridge. It's been well played and sadly most of the domino decals have worn though, but there are no repairs beyond a reglued back brace, and it's a great sounding vintage tenor for not a lot of money. We’ve replaced the original machine heads with Grovers, but will keep hold of the originals.

Gibson TG-1 c1928

First up in a series of new and old tenors we have on their way to us is a gorgeous little Gibson from the dawn of the company's illustrious flat- top making career. Although the TG-1 is essentially a 3/4 size version of the same year's L-1 design, Gibson chose to upgrade the tenor version by adding their mid-line pearl banjo headstock facia and, more importantly, a feather-light X brace supporting the Adirondack Spruce top. Condition is excellent - a little pick wear to the top but all original and no cracks to be found anywhere. 

Tonally these little Gibsons could well be the best there is: sweet and warm with a harpsichord like chime when playing chords. A rare and beautiful thing that shows perfectly why modern players are rediscovering these elegant little instruments.

The original Gibson case is supplied.

1950's Gretsch New Yorker Tenor banjo 

Although not a name you immediately associate with banjos, Gretsch first entered the music industry as a drum manufacturer, and occasionally made forays into the wierd world of drums with necks and bits of wire stuck on them. 

The New Yorker range was manufactured throughout the 50s comprised arch top acoustics, mandolins and banjos. This example is a lovely bit of American kitsch; a little unusual in design, with a cast aluminium shell forming the bulk of the body with a wooden back plate acting as a resonator. The sound is bright and metallic with plenty of volume.

Generally good condition, the only notable repair being replacement binding to the neck.
