Very Interesting

One of the Delmore Brothers played a tenor guitar, and it was played on one of my CD's after cleaning the strings and restoring them so they could be played on a Delmore Brothers song on the original strings on the original guitar, it sounded great. Poway Music had a pretty good tenor guitar that I played with, but can't say I played on as I never got the hang of it, they were usually used for a jazzy chord melody, he also had a beautiful tenor banjo that was generally played in a jazz band, I wanted it but it didn't fit my style.

No, but I sure have now. I'm sure glad it still goes "twang, twang". I'm also curious to see what it sell's for.

Tenor guitar is banjo scale.
He would have had to redo the fingerboard too.
I bet this is just a primative octave bass.

National made tenors which as aL said are a banjer scale. They also made plectrum guitars (4 strings) which were a longer scale, maybe like a 5 string banjer? I haven't been able to find one of those yet but the search continues.
