So I picked up this inexpensive tenor guitar from Blueridge and I've fallen in love with it. I'm trying to justify putting a $200 or $300 (SL or Anthem) pickup in a $400 guitar, but there aren't exactly a wealth of tenor guitars available out there, and I love the way this guitar sounds. With the parlor sized body and 4 strings and slightly wider string spacing, is this a bad idea? If this isn't a terrible idea, could anybody tell me if there is a good reason to get the Anthem rather than the SL for this specific guitar? I tune in Irish tuning, btw, GDAE low to high, with string gauges 042, 030, 020 and 013, if this is any consideration. Thank you for your time.

Hey piousdevil,
I definitely don't think that it's ever a bad idea to install a good pickup in a guitar that you love the sound of. I have a inexpensive Recording King that i love, and I have the Anthem SL in it. The combination of the guitar and pickup is amazing!
I don't know that you would need to go with the full Anthem though. The Anthem SL, at least in my opinion, has the best qualities of the Anthem, but in a smaller (and cheaper) package.
You shouldn't have any issues with your guitar being a tenor either.Comment

I really appreciate your reply. The Anthem SL it is, then. Then some 4 stringin' fury!Originally posted by Caleb_Elling View Post
Also, the Image Verification on this forum is torturous. I don't know if it's because I'm colorblind, but a lot of them are impossible for me to make out.Comment

That image verification has given us some trouble, due to it's difficulty. It has cut down on a lot of spam though. It is something that we're working on pretty consistently.Comment

Got the Anthem installed and it sounds great through my fishman loudbox mini. Just beautiful, ringing tones. I am not disappointed.Comment
