Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

November 15, 2006 | Hilburn 5-String

From Boulder, Colorado, Builder Jim Hilburn introduces a new Bennedetto inspired 5-string, electric arch-top mandolin. Custom-built for award winning mandolinist Drew Horton, this hollow-body dream is powered by a special hand-wound Kent Armstrong humbucker pick-up with Alnico poles. Known for his incredible detail and sound on his F and A body instruments, we're excited to see him venture into a jazz style instrument!
