I'd like to see some different Webers! Mine is a 2004 X Braced Fern! With one of my Deerhide Straps! I did the scalloped extension myself, and it also has a Doug Edwards Armrest!

Randy:
That's a beautiful mandolin. I really like the strap too -- I'm considering trying to make a braided round strap for myself.
Mine isn't here yet, but I've ordered a Weber Bitterroot A Oval hole. It should be here in about 8 or 10 weeks, and I can hardly wait. Maybe someone out there will post a picture of a Bitterroot on this thread?

Here is my Weber Vintage A. Great sounding instrument with that "old" wood that Weber got from a violin maker. Best as a folk, Celtic, fiddle tune instrument. Wonderful for duets as it blends well with a guitar.

Here is my Aspen II. A lovely sounding instrument, with a distinctly non-Gibson sound. A real player - with sound you would pay twice as much to achieve.
Man, Those are some awesome insturmets!!!!

Here is my first Weber, a 2004 Maple Bitterroot. I also did the scalloped extension. I sent it back to Sound To Earth, and those fine folks radiused the fret board and re fretted it for me!

Those Fern's are gorgeous! So is that Bitterroot Oval. I'll bet it has a super sweet tone.
Here are a couple I let get away: The Bridger A was an absolute cannon. It's far and away the loudest mando I've ever owned. The Bridger F was traded in on the 'Prototype' Bridger F I now have. Sorry for the 'Other Instrument' content but it's the only pics I have of these two.
My Cedar topped Limited Edition.
Hey Randy, Glad you started this thread. The Bitterroot is working out great when I can get it back after letting someone try it out. Nice Fern by the way.

Here is my custom Yellowstone with a red spruce top. I scooped the board and did the dot inlay.

When you buy the armrest/tailpiece you wind up with an extra Weber tailpiece with a 'W' on it. I guess then, the only market is for other Weber owners or guys named Will or williamson or warner or......but it is a great armrest and does the job nicely.
Here is the backside of my 1999 Weber Beartooth. This mandolin has exceptional tonal quality and it is a joy to play.
Here's my Bighorn:

I play an Aspen too. I liked your comment' "non Gibson". That is the same sound I like. I play traditional hymns, some Celtic, ballads, chord-melody style. I am thinking about moving up to the Yellowstone, but I am keeping the "A" shape and the Weber "D" soundhole. I assume you like your Aspen. I put Jazzdola JM11 strings on mine and it really made it sound nice. Lot's of sustain.
