Thank you very much for your interest in the new mandolins designed and built by Corrado Giacomel of Genoa, Italy. I'm very excited to be involved in helping this gifted builder promote and distribute these wonderful instruments. I was certainly impressed enough with his J5 model to take it to my next gig after receiving it, and I haven't stopped playing it yet.

All of the new Giacomel mandolins - 2 J5 models (price: $12,500.00 with case and newly-designed deluxe tuners made in Italy), a J3 2-point model featuring the same high quality tone and playability of the J5s (price: $9,200.00 with case and new Waverly tuners) and a brand new model, the J5 "Saturno" with eliptical oval hole (same price as the J5) have been sold. Several more are expected within the next month.

For the first time we are now offering the unique G5 guitar with fabulous tone, playability and a free standing pickup (price: $15,000.00) - check out the sound clip featuring my good friend, guitar maestro Martin Taylor. In addition there is a wonderful previously-owned wine-sunburst J5 (nitrocellulose lacquer finish, x-braced) at the reduced price of $10,000.00. Here's what they look and sound like -
