  I was given my H950T in 1966 just before I went to 'Nam the first time. Now, 43 years later, I think I'll learn how to play it.

  Mine has a DeArmond pickup with a volume and tone control.Was given to me about 25 years ago.

  Just bought one of these at an estate auction for $20...fairly beaten up, but in good enough shape to restore. I think.

  bought one on ebay recently in fairly good shape. It sounds FANTASTIC ! I have had a few archtop tenors but this one really blew me away.
  BTW I string all my tenors to GDAE, cause tuning to CGDA is a suicide, it will bow your neck (especially vintage guitars) in months.....

  J.Moffitt, for string tension, you can't talk about tuning without talking about string diameters. You can have the exact same tension in CGDA or GDAE, just use the right strings.

  I tune my 1953 monterey DGBD (Banjo tuning). People who don't play guitar are elated because they can strum along and make all major chords with one finger. Later I teach them other chord shapes. This tuning also enhances the tone of the vintage wood.
