5 String Mandolin with Vibrato

I’m using a Gibson BR-3 amp with a Nocturne Brain Jr. Barnyard pedal to get the amp to break up bit at low volume.

I finished up this 5 string last week. Weighs in at 5 pounds even and is tuned in fifths with a low C.

Here’s a picture of a couple upcoming builds, truss rods installed and fret boards inlaid, slotted and cut to size. Thanks for checking in!

Mid January ’24

We lost the great Larry Collins January 5th. I’m so glad I got to catch their act a handful of times over years, both here and abroad. Total professionals and always put on a great show. R.I.P. Larry and Lorrie.

Last week I got an invite to bring some guitars to a Jim Irsay band rehearsal where I got to hang with Billy Gibbons for a bit, what a blast! The Irsay collection of rare guitars and historic memorabilia is incredible. Check it out if you get the chance.
