... is that a tenor guitar?

It's a four string. Have no idea what the proper name for it is. When I was 15 I helped a friends dad clean his garage. That was my pay.

looks like?

any way you cut it it's a gorgeous guitar - and if it sounds like others i've heard I imagine it's a real charmer too. How do you tune it? If you've never done so, you should try tuning it like a tenor guitar - cgda like a viola (g the same as a violin g).

I play it a lot. Like almost every day. There isn't an instrument in my home that doesn't get played, just for the record :)

I tune it like an open D chord.

All the picking and strumming in this are from it:
