    Default Weber Bighorn

    I saw this Weber Bighorn on ebay - does anything look off to anyone else?

    What are you concerned about. It looks fine to me and the price is really good.

    The bridge has been moved? This is like one of those detective puzzles where you study the image for clues.

    Look closer - nothing major and the price is very good.

    Looks to me like it has violin stings for the G and D strings?

    If I hadn't just bought a Weber Yellowstone 2-pt which I am still very much in love with, I would be all over that Bighorn. In fact, I am sorry to know about it. Just go away. I don't NEED that Bighorn. I can't hear you. la-la-la-la-la-la-la-

    Do you mean that the photos on the listing look like stock photos?

    FWIW - I purchased a Veillette from The Music Zoo and they were great to deal with. Pretty sure they have a brick and mortar location and deal primarily in guitars. NFI on this end, but I would happily do business with them again.

    That's a beauty, and a really good price. I love Weber mandolins, and the Bighorn has been on my radar for some time. Wish I could afford to jump on this one. Whoever buys it will be getting a whole lot of mandolin for the price tag.

    A while ago I was reading a interview with a former Weber employee and he stated that the Bighorn was consistently their best sounding mandolin (or at least it was his favorite). I've only heard recordings of that model but it is a monster. Huge tone.
