 *AXES OF UPHEAVAL
Featured current and former instruments of Ted Eschliman, Jazz Mandolinist.
Militant Advocate for Mandolin Chromatic Rights.
*Not to be confused with the axis of evil...
Journey through instruments designed to take mandolinning into the 21st century!...
 Rigel CT-110: Figured Vermont maple back and sides and a red spruce top. Uniquely radiused sides, its wedge-shaped body fits comfortably into "player ready" position, and sets a new standard of aesthetic for the 21st century player. The (removable) neck is 3-ply maple-ebony-maple with abalone inlays. Gold-plated Grover tuners, Rigel "Down-hooked" tailpiece (lightning quick string changes!), ebony adjustable bridge and internal piezo. And of course, the unique, trendsetting blueburst finish--a true jazzmando original!
