"We are pleased to be among the first in the country to receive one of
these beautiful guitars from the fine folks at Weber in Montana...."

“That guitar of yours (Darrin Vincent's) really did pop on stage. Even in the
brief evaluation in the backstage chaos at the Opry -- I could tell it was a sweet instrument”.
- Brian Wilson - Fox News
"Had a good workshop at Elderly Instruments where I was blown away by a hand made
Weber carved top guitar with F holes! Will this be the future?? Sounded different but terrific..
- Roy Bookbinder -
"It's been a busy week, but I have had time to get some early impressions...
on the ergonomic side, the intonation and action are perfect, and the playing
position of the right hand is very, very comfortable. This morning, my
friend Nick came over (you know him better as my partner in crime from the
NAMM show) to see it. I just sat a few feet away as he played, and this is
where the true beauty of this instrument became obvious. I was struck by
the evenness of tone...very, very balanced. Loud, but not at all "boomy"...
just right. There is an incredible projection from the entire top of the
guitar, not just sound being amplified by holes. Even more impressive is
the evenness of chords and notes played all the way up the neck. The guitar
sounds as great at the 15th fret as it does at the 1st. And I don't want to end
without due appreciation for the workmanship. Even the beauty of my koa
Yellowstone mandolin couldn't prepare me for this. From the wood
(a beautiful flame to the maple, some very individual figuring on the spruce)...
to the inlay, to the lines drawn by the binding...this guitar leaves me wanting
absolutely nothing else in terms of looks. Bruce has done an amazing job here;
it will be a pleasure to get to know this guitar over the coming years. By
the way, Nick did some recording with the mandolin this week and just might
have caught a touch of M.A.S. He played this one next to his old ******
and said that it sounded full of "tire inflation foam" in comparison. Made me
laugh. I do know that seeing this Big Sky guitar has made me wonder what it's
little brother--a Big Sky mandolin (1 3/16" neck, radiused fingerboard, bud
inlay, Translucent Walnut finish, filled gold tailpiece) would look like sitting
on the stand next to it. We'll see."
-Drew M.- owner of the first Big Sky Carved Top guitar.
The new Weber guitar is the most unique guitar I have ever played. If you are
a mandolin player the voice of this guitar will grab you right away and you
will fall in love with the clarity and percussive nature of each note. If you are
used to playing a quality dreadnaught sized flat top then sit and play for a few
minutes. You will be led down a different road than you normally take. You
will fall in love too. This is truly a new and different guitar, try one out.
-Ken Bailey- Bailey's Music, Plant City, FL
I just wanted to pass along some praise for your new arch top guitars. I had
the opportunity to play a Big Sky model guitar at H. B. Woodsongs Music in
Boulder Colorado. The guitar I played was the complete package--beautiful
woods, rich walnut finish, clean workmanship, and tone to die for. I loved
the sound of this guitar--big trebles and midrange power like any any good
arch top would have, but with added warmth in the bass that was a pleasant
surprise. You guys have really hit the mark. Congratulations. Now, I have
to begin saving my pennies....
Sincerely, - Steven V. -
"Outrageous!"
"Great tone."
"Louder than #@*%!"
"Sounds great all the way up the neck."
"This thing sounds excellent!"
- Player's comments on a Weber guitar at Music Villa, Bozeman, MT -
I played one of your arch tops - mahogany back & sides, deep body &
satin finish at a local store in Plant City, Florida (Bailey's). It was
fabulous! Just a magnificent instrument. You don't by any chance have
any of those laying around in unusual colors? It did seem like a guitar
to keep forever. Thanks again.
