Weber Gallatin F14-F Mandolin Dark Burst, 2003

Introduced in 1999, the Weber Gallatin F14-F F-Style mandolin delivers punch, clarity and playability in a visually stripped down package. The core materials and build quality are all there, but it’s just not highly decorated and you’ll never be able to tell from the recordings! Built during June of 2003 in Belgrade, Montana this Weber Gallatin F14-F mandolin features a Sitka spruce top with Mahogany for the back, sides and neck, and ebony for the fingerboard and bridge.

Collings MT A-Style Mandolin Gloss Top Sunburst, 2006

On September 11, 2023   /    
Collings MT A-Style Mandolin Gloss Top Sunburst, 2006

The Collings MT A-Style mandolin is the entry point for Collings mandolins, and its lack of decoration doesn’t hide the quality of the instrument or the care with which it was built. This 2006 model sports a satin finish with the ‘Gloss Top’ option, and an ebony arm-rest. The A-Style mandolin appeared in the closing days of the 19th century as part of Orville Gibson’s revolutionary introduction of violin making principles to mandolin construction.
