21.5" scale...couldn't you just capo a regular Reverend Billy Corgan?
 
"While we are all accustomed to the E-A-D-G-B-e standard tuning, a Terz takes it up a minor third to G-C-F-A#-D-G. The effect could be recreated by placing a capo on the third fret, but it also holds tonal properties you couldn’t recreate from a regular acoustic.

The Terz is also a petite 20 to 22 inches in scale length. This gives it a perceived high-end loudness next to boomier, guitars and basses usually made between 24 and 25.5 inches.

It is characterised by its narrow body; a cross between a large looking ukulele and a mariachi band requinto guitar. Over the years it has been mistaken for a child’s guitar. This has resulted in the original 19th-century romantic era models becoming almost impossible to find."

Guitar is a weird instrument and standardization arrived pretty late.

 
This seems like the sort of thing that would be super useful in a studio setting but it’s just kind of cost and space prohibitive for most people. If I had infinite money and space. I’d probably have one just because it seems like it would be really great for textural parts or layering.

Well, yeah. It’s more of a “hey” in the studio you can put this on something as sort of a novelty piece. I’ve been eyeballing electric tenor guitars for no actual reason lately but just for the “Ooh, thing might make something sound good in the future.”

I'd like one of those Eastwood Warren Ellis tenor guitars.



It's pretty far down the list though. I'd rather have a baritone first.
 
I could see having one if half of my set included songs with a capo on the third fret.
