Montana Lutherie

[Tim Logan]

It's always been my philosophy to offer cudos when due rather than complaining. Today I would like to offer cudos to Bruce and Mary Weber of Montana Lutherie. To be blunt: they are SUCH nice people. I ordered a tiny custom made piece and was treated so well - they are so down to earth and friendly that I just have to share it with others. It is so refreshing! (Let alone the fact that the Weber name is iconic in the lutherie world!). If you haven't for some odd reason checked out their website, here it is: https://www.montanalutherie.com/ A big shout out to Montana Lutherie!!!

Tim,
I agree they have to be the nicest folks here in Montana. We have been friends for over 10 years and they still treat me like family.

I merged them. I think the General Section is the best place for most people to see the praises (deserved) that you're offering.

Today I would like to offer cudos to Bruce and Mary Weber of Montana Lutherie. To be blunt: they are SUCH nice people.... they are so down to earth and friendly that I just have to share it with others.

The mandolin world seems to have a disproportionately high number of good people in it, but if they ever get ranked, I'm pretty sure Bruce and Mary will be sharing the top slot.

The work Bruce did on my A5-L (speednecking, nut, tuners, set up) so transformed it that I wrote it up as a blog post on that beautiful web site. An honor to be a guest there.

I seldom post here, but this morning I got excited and wanted to share it! Just opened my new custom Ranger that arrived yesterday. Top wood is seriously nice! Beautiful travel Mandolin with a very big voice for such a small body. Built and signed by Mary Weber. Gig bag that came with is a top notch padded bag with solid handle and even backpack straps. Inside one of the two pockets; a chord book and ML badge!

Reading comments of others about these folks is heart warming. I have been really blessed by knowing Bruce and Mary for about 25 years now. More than a decade of which, they honored me as an endorsing artist for their company. There aren't words that accurately describe how nice, conscientious, honest and honorable these people are. They live up to the high praises they have earned!

I am pretty stoked that they are building again after Sound To Earth was sold to TOH. You can bet there will be some pretty amazing custom instruments coming out of their shop in Montana again!

Here is a pic of the new Ranger; Mahogany back and neck, radiused ebony fretboard, ebony headstock overlay with MOP Montana Lutherie Logo, initials at 12th fret...

Makes me happy to see such beautiful instruments coming out of the state I grew up in.

That ranger looks like a ton of fun!

Boy is that a beautiful travel instrument! Congratulations!

Ordered a Ranger in cherry as a traveling mandolin. Spoke to Bruce about my requirements (Arizona in the Winter, Oregon the rest of the time) and he recommended cherry. Darn, now I have to wait for it to be built.
