Homer and Jethro's It Ain't Necessarily Square
On the Square album, I've been listening to for a while, I am pretty sure that the on the non-acoustic tunes, Jethro has got to be playing an electric solid body mandolin. Can anyone confirm this? I read a few other threads where folks say, no that is him on guitar, which I guess could be true, but the voicings in the heads and solos just don't sound like guitar chords. Any one else with me on this? Also, it doesn't seem like an acoustic electric either tone wise. Could this be on the Fender mandocaster? Did he have a solid body Gibson in addition to the electric red and the electrified Gibson/ Washburn F5s?
