And It's Playing Music

The Celtic Tenor Guitar is finished.. it has a coat of blonde shellac French Polish , Schaller gold tuners with ebony buttons and an Allen Tailpiece. Currently it is strung with 0.042, 0.030, 0.020 and 0.012 strings tuned to GDAE an Octave lower than Mandolin. So it's a Tenor Guitar tuned as an Octave Mandolin :-)

The strings are a bit floppy on it so I'm going to replace them with some Mandola strings which as 0.049, 0.034, 0.023 & 0.014 Which should give 21 to 23 pounds string tension across the board.

All in all I'm happy with the results, it has a Mandolin like sound and should be good for playing Celtic pieces.. One I sort ou the strings I'll try and post a sound clip.
