This is Montana's nick-name, which comes from a well known book by A. B. Guthrie about mountain men in Montana, entitled "The Big Sky".

A sign at a ranch explains Montana as being: "A place that's got .16 people, one and a half antelope, 3 deer, and 896 trout per square mile. " A land of space, mountains, and Big Sky.

This is the definitive Bluegrass Mandolin. Big "Bark" and a bigger "Bite". It has a "Chop" that will make grown trees quake in fear.

An astonishingly beautiful instrument. These phots do not do it justice. This instrument features an Adirondack spruce top with some of the best maple. It has custom appointments like the headstock overlay and the rear overlay. It also features a custom "Weber Inlay" in the headstock.

It features Tortoise binding with a "honey/pumpkin" top. 

I've learned that when Rick at Weber calls with an instrument, it usually means that it has a killer voice. I could tell when I spoke with him that this mandolin was above even his high standards. Thanks, Rick.
