I bought this wonderful little tenor guitar direct from Fylde in December last year. Tenor guitars were invented in the early C20th to facilitate the conversion of banjo players to guitar as the latter became popular. This one is tuned GDAE (low to high), so it has virtually the same range as a normal guitar, just with two less strings. It's a wonderful instrument that has just been added to the regular Fylde range. It's pretty much mint condition, Fylde having used it as a demo prior to me buying it, with just a very small nick on the front of the headstock and a couple of light pick marks that will probably polish out; I've added a strap button (supplied by Fylde) at the neck joint. I've never gigged it, just played it at home, and it's strung with Elixirs. The tone is sweet, but surprisingly loud. No pickup fitted. Comes with the original Hiscox case. Full specification can be found on the Fylde website [url="http://www.fyldeguitars.com/guitars.html"]here[/url], but it's basically cedar top, sapele back and sides with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard; the promotional pictures featured on the website are of the actual instrument I have for sale. Happy to post worldwide at cost. RRP is £1100 for a new one, so get one that's basically new for a little less. Only reason for selling is I'm releasing funds for my Veillette archtop.

Just to say Anthomp is THE MAN to deal with. If he says they're in great condition, they are.

My first "proper" rig was one of these cabs with a Triad and SWR Basic 350 amp. Awesome tone and build quality!

Gwil, what on earth are you thinking!? I hope the GAS is truly serious enough to warrant letting those three beauties go?

I bough this to fit in my tenor guitar, but I've decided to use a Fishman Rare Earth instead so this is now surplus to requirements. It comes new and unused in the original wrapping and box. The illustrations are from the K&K website and show the pickup with three discs, for a regular 6 string guitar. I'm selling the [b]two disc[/b] version, so only suitable for four stringed instruments such as tenor guitar, 4 string acoustic bass, bouzouki etc. The pickup is a passive system, with the two pickup discs, volume control and endpin jack. It is a transducer system only and does not need a battery or on-board electronics. If you search the internet you will find many satisfied guitarists and makers who use these pickups; they sound full and rich and have sufficient output to drive most amps without the need for an additional preamp. Direct installation of the discs under the bridgeplate with superglue is required for optimum performance, although double sided tape (supplied) can be used as an alternative. You can read more about these pickups [url="http://www.kksound.com/purewestern.html"]here[/url]. US RRP is $172, I'm looking for [b]£90 posted[/b] but am willing to haggle!

Also, Hipshot Ultralite tuners and a different neck joint (again, more ergonomic) were the other changes.
