Sweet tone

Gold Tone’s best acoustic tenor guitar features a solid spruce top for true vintage-style tone to go along with the TG-18's authentic 1930s vibe. The mahogany body is sized right in between those of the pre-WW ll tenor guitars (from Pennsylvania and Michigan) in order to increase the TG-18's low-end punch. Thankfully, it’s available as left-handed model.
