2007 pre Yellowstone model Big Sky mandolin. Has all of the appointments of the Montana Yellowstone mandos from 2007 on.
I just did a re-fret, speed neck, and all the setup tweaks, so it’s good to go. This mando has been well used with lots of finish distressing on the top. The build is solid and after the recent work, plays great. Can’t beat the price at $2800.

Following is another nice letter we received from a happy player: Hi Bruce, Despite my anxiety attack, the mando got here safe and sound. It was waiting on the doorstep, freshly arrived when I went home for lunch yesterday.I can’t tell you how pleased I am with how it plays and sounds. It has a lightness and sweetness of tone that I can’t get from my other instruments. It’s like it has come to life.I don’t know what magic happens in Montana, but my mandos have all been the better for visiting there and taking the cure!
A little walk on the wild side- the first ever Weber Mustang mandolin in like new condition! Not many of these were built so she’s a rare one and perfect to round out a collection. Fingerboard is true and plays easy at a low action with no buzzing. A bonus: Comes in a Hoffee, thinsulate lined, case which is about the best you can get!

I know this is REALLY early but some of the engraved items take about 6 weeks to make, plus inlay customization can take awhile, too.
Following are a few ideas for that Mando Player in your life.
Customized Truss Rod Covers and Harmonic Suppressors are popular: engraving on Mother of Pearl or Abalone, inlay of initials to your own logo or design. Check out our Galleries for ideas, and general pricing in the commerce section. The process can seem a bit confusing and it’s most often necessary to talk/email with Bruce to nail down exactly what is wanted- he can help with suggestions, ideas, and give you a cost estimate.
We’ve had a long, beautiful Autumn here at Montana Lutherie, and Sound To Earth Orchard. Bruce was busy getting the new shop ready for winter, but has a great view!
