- Homemade Upright Bass-banjo. Awesomely Unique Instrument.
guitarz.blogspot.com: I'd love to hear how this Bass-Banjo sounds. I think it's a great idea and I had one of those " how have I not thought of this" moments. This particular bass looks like it was made quite cheaply It makes me wonder if...
- 1925 Stromberg-voisinet Tenor Guitar, From The Company That Became Kay

This seems like a rare bird. When the guitar started to overtake the banjo in jazz some companies took to installing tenor necks on their guitars. This gave us the common tenor guitars by Martin, Gibson, and others. But this Epiphone Inspiration took a different approach, essentially replacing tone ring and head with wood. Maybe they thought that it would be an easier sell to banjo players if the instrument still resembled what they were accustom to.
Maybe they just liked how it looked.
I know I do.
