Archtop
Cittern
This
was a no-name old archtop guitar. I think it might be
an Orpheum brand. I loved the tone, so I had Micah
convert it to a 10-string cittern.
|
Danelectro
Cittern/Mandocello
I
believe this was built by Subway Guitars from an old Danelectro
Longhorn.

|
Weymann
Bouzouki/Octave Mandolin
Another
conversion by Micah from a tenor guitar. I wish I had this
one for the recording of Good Thing - it sounds richer than the harmony.
|
Portuguese
Guitarra
It
originally had 12 strings, however I converted it to a 10-string.

| Mandolins |
Also
check out the mandolins I played on the "Good Thing" CD. |
|
Lark
Senior Mandolin
I've
never seen another one of these. It has a nice lark decal
and musical note fret markers.
|
1957
Gibson F-12
Believe
it or not, this is the mandolin I started playing on! Not
bad for a starter, huh? Actually, I didn't really play it
much, because I was worried I would damage it at a bar. Once
I found Marley, I stored
this one away and eventually, sold it to help fund my CD project.

Dobro
Mandolin
In
the spirit of Sam Bush, I have this setup with 4 strings for slide
mandolin.

Also
check out the Weissenborn and Supro lapsteel I played on the
"Good Thing" CD. |

Oahu
and Supertone
The
Oahu sounds suprisingly nice and bright. The other one is a
wallhanger.
|
Bear
Creek Hawaiian Slide Guitar
I
went on a vacation in Hawaii and stopped by Bear Creek guitars and
tried one of Bob Brozman's first guitars that was in for
adjustment. I didn't really know how to play, but I ordered
one. About 6 months later, I found a real Weissenborn.
Then another 6 months later, Bill finished this one. It is
so beautiful.

I
endorse Pick-up the
World pickups in his instruments. Since I play with a
full band, I have begun installing Pick-up the World pickups and
leave the original pickup in there and wire them in stereo through
a Rane AP13 stereo preamp. The new pickups sound like a
microphone without the feedback so the instruments sound
great! I haven't found the great amplifier yet, but I'm
working on it. Email me if you want to talk tech talk.

German
Harp Guitar
Double
neck restored by Micah - on now has a new owner in Arizona...
sniff... Makin' room for more crazy strings....

Fender
Esprit
I
don't play any electric guitar on my CD, however, I have been
playing it with the band lately. I had to get this because
I'm a huge Robben Ford fan.
|
Warmoth
Strat
I
used to play in a blues band back in Chicago. I bought all
the parts and built this specifically for slide guitar playing.
