I love a challenge
Build a Tenor neck to fit the Guitar.
Make conversion seamless, Customer wants the option of changing the neck.
so photos of this axe DB ?
is it a set neck or bolt on ? obviously bolt on will be much easier to change necks.
I've had trouble uploading pics since the weekend DB, keep getting internal errors, think others have to

sounds cool, will be interested in seeing how you do the neck joint.
Also if they are going to be changed, will the bridge need to be moveable as well, or compensation built into the neck?

Tenor guitar is, in a way, guitar for banjo players. The scale is shorter, it has four strings. They were quite popular in the 20s and 30s as banjo had been the primary stringed instrument. Even into the 40's jazz guitarists like Tiny Moore were using Tenor guitar. Warren Ellis from The Dirty Three and the Bad Seeds plays a Eastwood tenor guitar when he isn't playing violin.
