2020s Gold Tone TG-10 Tenor Guitar

A customer of mine bought this as her first tenor guitar. I think it's a 2021 build and it's an all-ply, comfortable, fast-necked, good-sounding instrument in the vein of an old Yamaha in terms of practicality. It even has a 3-bolt neck joint so I was able to deal with bad action/low saddle by popping the neck off and resetting it with shims in 15 minutes. I can't complain about that! Thanks for making it easy-peasy, Gold Tone. I initially took one look at it and groaned because it's frustrating to have to reset the necks on inexpensive modern instruments.

Anyhow, it's ready to go and I have it strung-up in Celtic GDAE tuning. I can restring and retune to whatever you like, however.

Repairs included: a quick neck reset and setup.

Condition notes: it's pretty clean with only light signs of use via pickwear and handling wear here and there. The side of the neck joint shows a tiny little gap at the top of it where I shimmed the angle back a little bit. It's nothing to worry about.


It comes with: no case, sorry!
