Lurk mode off.
I've had a major tenor jones lately. I've also tried the Gold Tones but
didn't like them. I've been eyeing the Blueridge tenor at Elderly.
Anybody try one of these?

I've got a decent vintage Martin O-18T and it's a blast to play. More
of a player (repaired top crack and side wall crack) than a serious
collector instrument.
I am barely finding the time to play the mandos right now so I'm
considering letting the tenor go to a better home. Let me know if
you're interested.
