Review: Just remarkable and very versatile - I expected a decent instrument from Ibanez but this just blew me away. The tenor guitar is not a wildly popular instrument made in the millions like a regular guitar, it's kind of a rarity. That they can produce this quality in such an instrument is amazing! Years ago you had the choice between a poor quality import or a super-expensive Gibson or Martin. This is excellent quality for a ridiculously low price. Very well done Ibanez! Note that this will not come set up, that is, with all the adjustments needed to make any instrument play its best. You should not expect that for this price. A proper set up by a skilled technician can easily add almost $100 to the price of any guitar. Fortunately, I have the experience needed for this, but if you don't you can have any good music store provide the service. I lowered the action, changed out the strings (factory strings always need replacing), and did the other set up jobs. I strung this like the top four strings of a regular guitar (DGBE) so it plays like a baritone ukulele. You have to put regular light guitar strings on to do this. Tenor guitar strings will break. Once everything was adjusted the way I like it the guitar was just perfect for me. Because of the nice big dreadnaught body it has plenty of bass response for this. If you always wanted a baritone ukulele with metal strings, get this instrument and put the high strings of a guitar on it. Tenor banjo players will, of course, leave it tuned CGDA. Irish banjo players will prefer it tuned GDAE. It can handle all those tunings with the right strings. The various string sets needed are available here on desertcart. One reviewer complained that the neck is very narrow. This is normal for a tenor guitar. It is a hybrid instrument developed in the 1920s for tenor banjo players. It's really a tenor banjo with a guitar body (or a guitar with tenor banjo neck, depending on how you look at it). I received mine two days after placing the order and it arrived well packaged in perfect condition. There is no case included, but it will fit in a hard case for the Baby Taylor guitar or a 1/2 size guitar gig bag. Those are also available on desertcart from excellent sellers. Again, great job Ibanez and thank you desertcart! ADDED: After changing the strings to "Chicago tuning" (like the four high strings of a standard guitar) I needed to fill and re-cut one of the nut slots. This is because of the string change and isn't Ibanez's fault. The same thing can happen if you were to re-string it for Irish tuning or anything other than what it was originally set up for. But be aware of that if you plan on converting the instrument to an alternate tuning.
Review: I love this thing. - I play bari uke and I wanted that steel string sound to boot - this gives me that. Also the tenor opens up a world of exotic tunings and applications beyond what I bought it for. Beautiful, well made, and reasonably priced. Shiny too. Get one if you're at all considering it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Tenor Guitar checked all my boxes
*by C***Y on December 18, 2025*

I'm pleased with the playability, tone, and appearance of my Ibanez tenor guitar. The one (and only) thing it sorely needed, was filing of the fret ends. Luckily, I have the experience and tools for filing fret ends. The action at the nut and saddle, and the neck relief were both good, as delivered. A correction to the specs, the nut and saddle are just generic plastic (not bone), but adequate. The Ibanez tenor guitar seems to be closely patterned after the original 1920's Martin tenor design, with a 23" scale length (22.8" as measured), and with similar internal bracing. It's cheaper than the competition from Kala, Goldtone, and Blueridge. The Kala has a 21.5" scale, with a smaller body, and a flat non-radius fingerboard that joins the body at the 12th fret (short scale). It's really a steel string baritone ukulele, marketed as a tenor guitar. If you're looking to string it DGBE, and play it as a steel string baritone ukulele, then the Kala may be a better choice for you. But if you're planning to put nylon strings on it, a baritone ukulele is what you should buy. The Goldtone GT10 is almost twice the price for a comparable instrument, and the Blueridge BR40T model is almost 3 times the price. Do either play, sound, or even look significantly better than this Ibanez? They don't, in my experience. This Ibanez comes strung for CGDA standard tenor tuning, with D'Addario J66 strings. They sound and feel right. The total string tension is 79lbs. If you restring it for GDAE Irish tenor tuning, using John Pearse #450 strings, the total tension is 76lbs. That's right, slightly less total tension with heavier gauge strings tuned to lower pitch. The Ibanez tenor guitar can handle these with ease. Given what's currently available in the new low-priced tenor guitar market, the Ibanez seems like a no-compromise best-buy.
