Colvin and Earle on Conan

[lukmanohnz]

Love this tune - big fan of both, and really enjoyed their duo album. Anyone know what make/model Earle is strumming?

Good stuff. I need to check that album out.

[Luna Pick]

Great to see them prime time.

At first I thought his mando was a Northfield Model M, but not so sure, think the peghead may be a little different.

Looks like the same tailpiece Collings an Pava uses. I tried to screen capture and enhance the picture in photoshop, but I could not resolve the name on the headstock. The name goes up and across the headstock, like a Collings does also. But the end of the fretboard isn't slanted like the MT/MT2. Peghead shape doesn't seem to match Collings either.

Ah. Love the internet.

shows the mandolin clearly. Gilchrist Model 1?

Great stuff! Steve's lost a lot of weight.

Totally going on 1 view, while simultaneously watching Sportscenter, but Gibson A9 popped to mind.

Btw, I enjoyed it...

[Marcus CA]

Great stuff! Steve's lost a lot of weight.

True, but he hasn't lost any fire.

[BluesPreacher]

True, but he hasn't lost any fire.

Maybe found him some more. Allison must be taking good care of him.

LOVED the vid and the song!

A better picture of his Gilchrist:

Big Steve Earle fan here, but I gotta ask, is that really all him playing live in the beginning? I think I hear a second mando.
