bubbaba Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I hope this is the correct place to post this request. If not, moderators please move it to the appropriate place. I am looking to purchase in Thailand a Tenor Guitar, new or used. A Tenor Guitar has only four strings. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

transam Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 My Thai chum makes guitars and has a few shops dotted around Ubon. He speaks English...Heart & Soul Music, Ubon Ratchathani.. Business is on facebook but he is the only one that speaks English as far as I know and is out and about, but you could just send a message and see what happens.. I could have a chat personally with him if you like.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thequietman Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Do you mean a bass guitar? 4 strings. If so, the son is selling his and it's electric plug in as well. Make me an offer and I will pass it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bass guitar has four or five strings and is a much different instrument which is meant to carry the bottom, lower tones of a song, wereas the tenor carries only the higher tones.

What I need to know for future use is: When will rebuilding be complete and they are back in business? And mainly, do they make or can they make a Tenor Guitar.? Not everyone knows what a Tenor Guitar is including me a few months ago - so I suggest one go to U-Tube and listen to TenorLord. That man can really play a Tenor Guitar. Many others are on there too. Or, google wikipedia and search for Tenor Guitar. If you have the time or just happen to see your friend I would appreciate you asking him my questions. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoeless Joe Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 This is "Junior" my solid-body, electric tenor guitar which was built for me a couple of years ago, here in Chiang Mai. I wouldn't happily recommend any of the luthiers here, it was a year-long process which required a lot of input from me especially regarding the technical requirements and choice of hardware etc. The all-in build cost was approximately 15,000 baht and the hardware, another 10,000 baht. I don't know any retail outlet in Thailand that sells tenor guitars but you might be better off having one imported from the US. If you want more details please feel free to send me a message via Thai Visa and I'll happily respond. Regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Google "TJ Luthier" Bangkok Also "wiroonguitar.blogspot.com Chantaguitar.blogspot.com Strings Shop (www.stringsshop.com) is a high end but very well stocked shop in Bangkok, Sukhumvit Soi 24. "www.acousticthai.net" could be a good resource to check out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
