It's a Joe Glaser 5-string. Nice example of what you can do with a string bender. Looks like he switches from guitar during the piano solo.

Great Video. Hearing Ricky Skaggs play quickly became one of the main reasons I wanted an electric mandolin. Had one for a long time now. Still can't play like Ricky.

That is some great playing. I've been a fan of EC and RS, but I never would have imagine them playing together.
That song is also quite thought provoking. It really got me thinking about my vertical position relative to my dehydrated grape. :grin:

That video is pretty cool, and it's worthy of mention on the Telecaster Guitar forum (http://www.tdpri.com/forum/index.php).
LOVE that Glasser 5 string and what Seņor Skaggs dioes with it! :)

I cut the wood for that puppy, and it was one of the most figured chunks of maple I've ever milled....
I think that instrument got ripped off, and is still MIA....

So, since you cut the wood, do you know what kind of pickups are in that little beast? I think I need 'em.

Sure don't...
I know Joe did a lot of his own pup repair, so he might have whipped that one up...
