I got these two guitars at my favorite pawn shop. The six string plays well. I really like the wide fretboard. I need to do some work on the tenor to lower the action and would like to replace the tuners.

I like em' both! The sixer is just plain COOL!
Just of late has it dawned on me the MANY tunings available in this stringed instrument world.
Thanks, John. I've got the tenor strung ,DGBE and tuned down to,CEGC (open C). Some other possible tunings. DF#AD, DAF#D (Both open D) and EG#BE , EBG#E (Both open E) and DBGD (open G) The second examples of these chords give you a B string that is not under as much tension as the other strings , but still playable and a different voicing. The tenor has 1 to1 ratio friction peg tuners .....so it's a pain to tune ! At some time I will probably replace the tuners with geared banjo style tuners .
Good story. Man, that tenor catches my eye. You can tune it Chicago style, DGBE, like the small four on a six and you are off and playing. You can tune it like an octave mandolin, you could string it for GDGB. Back to the DGBE - my fave- you can also go DGBD and have an open G.
Thanks for the comments , everyone. I got the six string one week and went in the next week and there was the tenor . The story on the six string is I am the second owner and this guitar was not really played. I believe this story because I saw the name , Gary Manley , on the pawn ticket and it matches the name carved into almost one foot of the back of the guitar , next to the label that says "Gary Manley". Ahhh....the regrets of Gary Manley's youth. I call this guitar my Harmony Manley .
sweet score !
WOW! Both beauties. I love tenors and you don't see them that nice very often.
