Tenor 2H
Overview
Tenor 2HArriving in the era of jazz bands and dance orchestras, the tenor guitar was first seen as a way for tenor banjo players to get that popular new guitar sound. After finding a home in the Hawaiian, folk, and country music styles of the 1930-50's, the tenor guitar was sidelined in popularity by its six-string sibling. Today the tenor guitar is once again finding favor with a diverse base of musicians and we are excited to offer our version of this classic instrument. The Collings tenor features our own variation of the traditional "0" body dimension that provides exceptional projection with a sweet ringing sound. The tenor's slim "V" profile neck is also well suited to anyone seeking an alternative to the wide fingerboards of standard guitars. Hand crafted to the exacting standards that have earned Collings worldwide renown, the Collings tenor is among the finest examples of this instrument available today.
