This photo does not do justice to
the dazzling depth of grain
in the maple neck and mahogany body of this unique
electric
mandolin. This mandolin now sports an Attila Zoller
Jazz Humbucker pickup

A
Telecoustic with a Strat head?!? When Chris first got
hold of this guitar, it was headless. It's a long
story how it got that way, but Chris made short work
of putting this guitar back in service by grafting the
head from a Strat onto this Tele. Check it out!

Fellow
picker, songwriter and good friend
Bob Jacobson brought Chris this $12 pawn
shop guitar a few years ago. Chris replaced
the back and a year later made the cutaway.
Still later, Bob insisted on a new top.
Chris redesigned the bracing to accommodate
a pin bridge and installed a solid spruce top
with an ebony and ivory rosette. Small guitar,
big sound |

A waffle guitar?!? Chris has been called the
Waffle Man since he recorded My Pancake
Baby back in 2000. He figured, "Why not
have a guitar to fit the name?"
Chris really gets cookin' with this
guitar because it sounds
as hot as it looks. |
