The tenor guitar is a four-stringed instrument that originated in the early 20th century, designed primarily for tenor banjo players transitioning to guitar. It gained popularity in the 1920s and 1930s, especially among jazz and dance band musicians, due to its tuning compatibility (typically CGDA) with the tenor banjo. Originally developed by companies like Gibson and Martin, tenor guitars were often built with smaller, archtop or flat-top bodies. During the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s, artists like Nick Reynolds of The Kingston Trio helped revive interest in the instrument, often tuning it in open or guitar-based tunings like DGBE. Though its popularity waned later in the 20th century, the tenor guitar has seen a resurgence in recent decades among folk, indie, and roots musicians for its unique voice and versatility.
