It's being alleged that on last year's Outlaw Country Cruise, Steve Earle was playing a green mandolin similar in appearance to a Rickenbacker guitar.
The only such instrument I know about is the Tony Revell electric belonging to Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. But hey, it could be that since Petty's death the Heartbreakers are unloading some of the gear they'll no longer need.
Or, of course, someone else could have built a similar instrument for Steve.
Anyone have more info?
(No, of course it isn't an actual Rickenbacker: Rickenbacker mandolins exist but they don't look like the guitars.)
