Tenor guitar

A tenor guitar is a four-stringed instrument similar in shape to a regular guitar but typically tuned higher, like a viola. It is often tuned to CGDA, which corresponds to the higher strings of a standard guitar. This tuning gives it a bright, resonant sound that is distinct from other guitars. Originally popular in the early 20th century, the tenor guitar is favored in folk, jazz, and country music. Its lightweight design and versatility make it accessible for both amateur and professional musicians, providing a unique voice in various musical styles.
