The Schwab-Lampert Signature Mandolins
"Michael has owned several of my instruments over the years. Some time ago we put our heads together to come up with an instrument to fit his particular needs. Michael's personal MLS has a mahogany body with a Koa laminate on the top with ivoroid binding, maple neck, ebony fingerboard and the control cavity rear routed for maximum wood exposure."
