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!

If you’re thinking about selling a mandolin family instrument check out our MAC program. For some it’s easier to have a trusted third party handle it. Email, or give Bruce a call, to discuss!
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!
First, this Weber Yellowstone Custom F mandolin left our Montana shop in February of 2005. It is in great condition, has a fantastic voice, and with the recent setup I did, plays like butter.
Next, how about this drop dead gorgeous Loar era Gibson A4? Excellent condition with a few recent upgrades. EVO frets, James tailpiece, and Relic tuners. Beautiful voice and a very smooth player. Original case.
Two surprise Arch Top Guitars!
A nice 1935 Gibson Archtop in great shape! Neck is straight, frets are good, and it plays smoothly with no buzz at a low action. New Waverly tuners, TKL hard shell case, and has had a recent setup.
And to round out the selection, here’s a beauty! A Flyde Octave from England.
Buying a high-end instrument on the internet is often a big decision and you can make it easier by having a reputable third party certify that is it in good playable condition and verifying the general condition.

First, an 2018 Oregon built Bitterroot A style octave mandolin #1847808 Plays easy with the shorter scale and has a very nice relaxed voice.
Next, if you’ve ever wanted a Mandocello, this would be a great one to consider. A 2008 Weber A style Hyalite. Montana built and a great reconditioned instrument.
Don’t hesitate to Contact Bruce to chat about them!
We are keeping a list of people who would like to be contacted when we begin building Ranger Travel Mandolins again. Unfortunately our move set back building quite a bit longer than we expected. Bruce has been working on instrument repairs, customizations and parts but things like the building’s electrical work, the spray booth and, now, getting heat in the shop keep coming up…of course. We’re getting there though!
There is a forest fire, about 6 miles from our place, that is pretty much under control now. However things got exciting for awhile and did burn several houses. Our hearts go out to these people.
Also we had our first Cherry Harvest! Luckily we had a lot of great help. Following are a few pictures.
