    No...I don't want the info for a tenor ukulele. I want the info for a tenor GUITAR. I understand the distance from nut to bridge to be 22.75 inches on a tenor guitar. A tenor guitar is bigger than a baritone uke, often the same body size as a regular 6-string guitar, but has a narrower, shorter neck than a 6-string and only accommodates 4 strings, which are strings 1-4 of a 6-string. The strings are D, G, B, E. The tenor uses the same chords as a 6-string except the two lowest-pitched (fat) strings are not present on the tenor guitar. Do you have, or can you find the appropriate neck length, width and fret placement for the tenor GUITAR? Or tell me where to find the information?
