The four-string plectrum guitar is a cousin to the tenor guitar and five string banjo- it's the guitar bodied version of the plectrum banjo developed in the early twentieth century. Typically tuned CGBD. Wonderful for chord-melody style playing, it has a big, warm sound that will hold it's own as a solo instrument or with any band. This instrument has actually been designed as a plectrum guitar, not just a six string body with a long skinny neck attached like the majority of them made in the past.

All of my usual features apply: Your choice of top quality instrument woods available Adjustable neck angle 26" scale length 22 frets Arched fingerboard is standard 15" wide lower bout. Similar in size- but not shape- to a Martin "OOO" size guitar
