I've just bought a Vintage Paul Brett Viaten, a tenor guitar with the same body shape and size as the travel guitar "Viator" (I already have one of those - I keep it in Terz tuning and play it often).
I bought it yesterday from Rimmers Music online and it cost a few pence more than £206 delivered.
It was delivered about 20 minutes ago, so I've only had a chance to get it into tune and play a few chords on it so far, but I'm delighted. It's got a light, airy tone tuned CGDA. The sustain is great and it's an absolute delight. It's a featherweight guitar and comes with a soft case.
I've fancied a tenor guitar for ages, but they're usually a bit expensive for an experiment. At just over £200 I'm happy to have a punt on this one, and I'm very glad I have.
I'll get to grips with it properly over the weekend and post something here next week.
Happy chappy, me.

scorpiodog - Congrats Paul - I'm really interested in these - looking forward to seeing what they are like at Halifax. Smart move bringing a tenor guitar - likely to be the only one of those, so no danger of having to play tenor guitar conkers! Enjoy your new guitar! Keith

Great news, Paul. So, will you be stomping along to some Seth classics at Halifax?
