Cover of Copperhead Road by Steve Earle

Steve Earle is one of may favorites and now that I have a mandolin it was obvious I had to use it on this tune of his. Ashton cbg doing double-duty, on the main acoustic rhythm and also the electric parts, plus the mandolin of course.

Hi Bob and thanks a bunch! Much appreciate your comments. The Ashton is shorter than I normally build. The box is short so I went with a 23 1/2" scale as an experiment. I have an old 3/4 scale guitar from my youth with a similar scale length and it turns out I like it a lot on this cbg. All my others are normally 24 3/4".
