Corrado Giacomel is one of the world's top mandolin luthiers. A few years ago he astounded traditionalists with a radical new take on the F5. Non other than David Grisman (aka The Dawg) was so impressed; with the look, workmanship and sound that he represented him in the US of A. Not long after The Dawg and Eastman mandolins got together and agreed to produce a limited number of reproductions of instruments from the Dawg's famous collection. The DG1 Giacomel is the first of the series.

I remember when I first saw photos of the Giacomel. I just couldn't decide whether I liked the look or not. Years later I still hadn't made my mind up and decided I had to wait until I saw one.. it still took me a few days (and my appreciation of radical design is well known) but now I love it.

This beauty came in set up with very light nickel strings (.032 - .09) and an action so low you couldn't have fitted a banker's conscience under it, I really didn't care for the sound. Ted Eschliman of Jazz Mando described a DG1 as having no chop and a slight lack of authoritative lows. With a set of J75s and action high enough for a banker's bonus (that's the kind they should get at 2 mm at the 12th on the G) it has a fantastic rich tone. It chops and barks and has a full and resonant bass as well as a strong mid range and sweet clear trebles.

All solid woods, hand carved top and back and solid cast tailpiece. It has lots of bass and sustain, with rich mids and clear trebles. With shaped violin style lightweight hardshell case. Classic finish.
