The EQUIPPABLE

For those who are equipment geeks/junkies like me, the following is a list of my instruments, gear, amps, etc.

Mandolins:

2008 Kimble A5 — red spruce top, one piece maple back, tone bar braced, varnish finish, radiused fretboard, Waverly tuners

1929 National Triolian mandolin — walnut sunburst finish, original cone, set up by Marc Schoenberger (National Guitar Repair)

1933/4 National Triolian tenor guitar  – polychrome finish w/ palms on back, rare guitar shape, set up by Marc Schoenberger (National Guitar Repair)

Godin A8 electric/acoustic mandolin — spruce top, chambered mahogany body, built in electronics

Guitars:

recent G&L Classic ASAT deluxe — silver sparkle finish and maple neck/fretboard (gun oil finish), traditional Tele bridge

Amps:

1958 Gibson GA20T (two tone) — non original speaker–currently has a Ted Weber signature 12″ alnico speaker

1959/60 Fender Deluxe (tweed)  –  reconed Jensen P12R

Microphones:

Shure KSM27 — pretty much my go to mic for mandolin — great for both live sound and in studio recording

DI/PreAmp box:

90’s era Trace Elliott/Trace Acoustic Guitar preamp pedal — rare bird — pretty much the preamp section of a TA50 amp without the graphic eq.  Rarely use now since I have the Godin A8 mandolin.
