1958 Hootenanny Tenor Acoustic Made in Columbus, Ohio
By Donald Lee
This is a rare 1958 Jackson Guldan Chris Adjustomatic Hootenanny tenor acoustic.
The Jackson Guldan Hootenanny has a floating style bridge.
The tenor is an easy player, noticeably light weight with a small O sized body that puts out an unbelievable amount of sound.
The acoustic tenor has new Grover style tuning pegs and a new pickguard.
The tenor guitar has a Chris Adjustomatic neck - to change the neck angle simply detune the strings, loosen the screw on the back
on the guitar, and then adjust the angle of the neck to the body by turning the screw at the neck joint, then retighten the screw.
Here is a close-up image of the Chris Adjustomatic neck system.
This is an all-maple guitar. The body and neck are maple, as well as the stained-maple fingerboard.
The Jackson Guldan Chris Adjustomatic Hootenanny tenor is thirty-six inches long putting it in the Parlor Guitar size range. The
acoustic has a 24 1/2-inch scale length. The lower bout is thirteen inches wide, and the upper bout is 9 3/8 inches wide. The
tenor's nut is 1 1/4 inches in length. The overall weight or the guitar is three pounds and ten ounces.
The guitar comes apart in two pieces - the neck and the body. A threaded bolt turns against a 90-degree angle iron to adjust the
string action. The guitar can be disassembled, reassembled and the string action can be set with the use of a Philips screwdriver.
A sixty-five-year-old instrument is bound to have nicks and scrapes!
This 4-string, right-handed Jackson Guldan Chris Adjustomatic Hootenanny tenor acoustic was made in Columbus, Ohio, USA. The
string height is 3/32 of an inch measured at the 12th fret on both sides.
Jackson Guldan proudly displayed banners such as 'Made in America by Jackson Guldan Craftsman' and 'Made in America by Jackson
Guldan Co., Columbus Ohio, Inspected & Guaranteed'.
Jackson Guldan Violin Co was a manufacturer of stringed musical instruments and once the largest violin maker in the U.S., which
operated from the first half of the 20th century from 1915 to 1971. The company produced violins, fiddles, and violas as its
primary product and secondly, acoustic guitars carrying the brand name Adjustomatic. Less costly violin imports from Germany led
to the company's slow decline.
[The image was taken in 1919 at 165 Main Street West, Columbus; Franklin County; Ohio. This is a three-story brick building with
a one-story wing.]
