 July 21, 2008 | Gibson Fanned-Fret Five String Jazz Mandolin
We got to meet Professor Ed Christian in person last spring during a personal tour of the JazzMando Research facilities while in town for a visit to his daughter's campus in Lincoln, Nebraska. Our common bond of the love of 8-strings has kept us in touch with each other since, and recently we've enjoyed the privilege of evaluating his 5-string project, a Gibson M-6 Mandolin/Guitar resurrected into a novel but respectable Fanned-Fret Five String Jazz Mandolin.
