Beautiful! I prefer A-style, oval hole, but if I won one in a raffle I could live with the F-style.......
I LOVE f bodies with oval holes. Capt. Reynolds would be proud.

What a stunning instrument. The Vietnamese manufacturers have given bling a bad name, but if tastefully done and coupled to a first class instrument, it is a stunner.
From CelticDude - "If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it ?" . Personally,if the vendor can't be bothered to quote the price,i can't be bothered to ask. Is it a 'secret' ???,

A bartender at one of the clubs I play is named Serenity - or so she says. I thought of sharing this with her when I saw the thread title, till I saw what it meant. I don't think she'd "get it."

Because the makers probably think that this mandolin is not going to be used for classical music, so those extended range is not needed, and as pointed out to me on many threads, many people like to play about at the end of the fingerboard, and to many of them the "Florida" is in the way.
Now I know!
I still want the extra frets!
I often wonder why a builder can make a super mandolin and just make a few why can`t they put the skill into all of the mandolins that they build and also quote us a price, some of us might have some ready cash and want to spend it on something nice and also one that may become a collectors item since there are so few made...Myself, I can`t imagine a Webber of any model becoming a collectors item...
Me, too. AFAIC, having the little dingus there (actually, it's a pretty fat dingus, proportionately) without frets is useless, from a functional standpoint, and looks clunky, from an aesthetic one. It's a minor consideration, but my eye was drawn to it.
I can, but perhaps more because of provenance (being owned by a famous player) than on its own merit.

There's a local shop that has one in Roswell , Ga. $12,000
Feel free to supply links, if you are so inclined. Here:
Weber Serenity at Righteous Guitars, Roswell, GA.
It does look like an upscale Antonio Tsai. I would something called serenity would be much more understated.
Go for it!

Just beautiful! I hope someone gets it that will play it!
The inherent beauty of the F-4 is lost in this example of an instrument. No thanks.

I do what I can!
See if you can find a bit from “The Kentucky Colonels” it’s titled “A Girl Named Ruth”
I’ve not searched it but, I’d guess it’s out there somewhere!
Might be on the “Living in the Past” album.
Edit: Just looked at the “Take’s BG link” the bit begins about 17:23
I bought this album in probably 1977, my band used a lot of material from the colonels, almost as much as we mined from the early goods from “Count Sparkula” particularly the “BG Old and New” album with the ever tasteful, late Art Wydner playing Bass!

Okay, in my defense, I like koi fish (on the fretboard.) I agree totally about the pearl around the sound hole and the body binding, but the wood on the back is gorgeous (IMHO) but would also lose the pearl on the back binding. So for me, the positives outweigh the negatives, if someone wants to give it to me, I will happily play it enjoying my koi fish on the fretboard and ignoring the body and sound hole binding.
