Up for sale is a 2009 Ray Webber A-Style Mandolin(no label, "R. Webber, 12-3-09" hand written on inside neck heel). This mandolin was built at a time when R. Webber was working with Ray Dearstone and is a high-end instrument with excellent detail/workmanship. Features include: Solid Arched Cedar Top; Solid Walnut Back and Sides; Rosewood Bridge and Fingerboard; and Wood Binding, Headstock Overlay and Truss Rod Cover. This mandolin has been played some but well maintained and in excellent overall condition. Structurally solid and without issue: Neck is straight with only minor fret wear on the 1st few frets; no warps, separations, etc.; there is a very subtle/minor settling crack along the Walnut grain on the back(see pic) - this is very subtle and I refer to it as a settling crack for it's not in any 'stress' area - strictly cosmetic and again, minor. Cosmetically overall this mandolin is very clean. It has a satin finish with a slightly higher 'sheen' than many (Dearstone believed it to be a True-Oil Varnish) and the 'sheen' deviates a bit in various spots from normal handling/playing...minor and typical. There is one small but noticeable ding in the top(see pic) and maybe a couple of other marks you could find thru-out, but they are minor. Overall, extremely clean. This mandolin plays, looks, sounds great. Includes the Hard-Foam Hardshell Case pictured in excellent condition as well.
