1953 5 String Bigsby Mandolin played by Chris Scruggs - Video
PUBLISHED: Jul 31, 2016
DESCRIPTION: A rare piece made by the legendary Paul Bigsby. This mandolin was originally built for Glenn Tarver, a California fiddle player. After a decade of limited use, Traver sold the mandolin to his former bandmate, the renowned western swing musician, Tiny Moore. This is the last of 7 Bigsby mandolins that were made.
Chris Scruggs plugged this rare mandolin into a mint Gibson EH-150 amplifier. We mic'd the amp with a Cascade Fat Head BE and the room with a Shure MV88
