Seen this one before.

For those songs when you need both an electric banjo and a fretless bass.

key comments to note in the Harmony central reviews-

"EVERYTHING on this guitar is total crap."

"Hands down the worst construction on any instrument I've ever seen."

"Stay as far away from a Tennessee instrument as possible."

"Second to worst instrument I've ever played out of HUNDREDS, yes I own dozens and have played HUNDREDS. The only thing worse than this is the Tennessee Harp Guitar I purchased along with it."

"I've been a musician for 20 years, worked in music stores, bought top of the line and a lot of cheap Japanese/Chinese/Korean instruments, but this is the biggest turd I've ever laid my hands on"


...any takers?

If I had a penny for every time these ridiculous instruments get posted here!

Search the forum for Tennessee guitars - you'll find the most incredulous thing of all is that many of these "designs" are actually knock-offs of one-off custom basses!

IIRC i think a basschatter actually wrote that more detailed review. I remember someone buying a sh*tty ERB off ebay just for the neck for a custom project. I'd never go near a 10 string for under say £600 anyway. I mean, that's not even a high end 4 string really!
