I have a fantastic Schwab 5 string too. But, I also want to mention that Kevin has worked on several of my "other" electric mandolins over the years. If you are looking for a true pro emando set up,...

Yep, this has stereo and mono outputs. The first two knobs are volume and tone for the neck pickup, the second pair of knobs are volume and tone for the bridge pickup, and the last knob blends the...

I am the proud owner of Jerman #17 - the "Koa Bolt". I have had it for a few months and I love it. It plays very well and as you can see from the picture it is very purdy little emando!

I would be...

I just purchased this emando from a shop in Buffalo, NY. I had been looking for a good 8 string solid body emando for a long time and I came accross this one. It is exactly what I was looking for in...

so mandroid, your saying the second option I discribed would be your preference (the extra 2 GK poles overhang on the knob side of my instument)? I like that better. I have space, it will be more out...

Ted your manndolin looks sweet. Here is a photo of my Jerman koa 4 string w/ my gk3 mounted. Does anyone have a technical opinion about where to mount a gk pickup in relation to the strings given...

Yep, I have my GK-3 placed high on the bass side, between the bridge pickup and the bridge, so it overhangs on the top bass side of the emando. Right now it is mounted with double-stick tape as I am...

I would like to add... My opinion may be a litle bias since I own it... But this Electric Mandolin is wicked pretty...with a good photo this should earn Andrew a spot on the Mandolin Café Electric...

Well,i am the owner of the "koa bolt". She now has a Roland gk-3 midi pickup too. She plays great, and is even prettier in person.Andrew did a great job.

I havent had a chance to play around with...

Don’t forget Andrew Jerman(http://www.crossroadswood.com). He is building an emando for me right now. I talked to a lot of luthiers about building an emando, and I chose Andrew because he was the...

Here is some info I found in an archived thread at http://www.well.com/~mitchh/sci/sci-faq.txt

Details about Mike Kang's mandolin setup.

These are some random posts pulled out of the...

So, your EMG Select is not custom? If so wich one is it, (the EMG Website lists several models (SEHB, SEHG, SES, SEP, SEJ, SEPJ). I assumed the problem with factory pickups is that either they are...

I recently visted Kevin Schwab at his shop in Minneapolis to talk him about building an electric mandolin for me (http://www.hoffmanguitars.com/SCHWABMANDOLINS.htm). I metioned to him that I had a...

Thanks for the responses...all good. I think I will apply a combination of all of your ideas. As much as I dont like cheating, I like mando_erik's damper idea, or at least until I get a better handle...

I just got a 5-string Blue Star Mandoblaster, and I was wondering if anyone has some advise to offer a 5-string newbie. The main problem I have right now is the C string. I love being able to extend...
