Cheers, Benski
That is beautiful. Looks like it has the small neck profile as well. I'm finding my RSDMM neck is something that's helping my playing and feels very comfortable for me. Can't wait to see other photos. :)
Re: Gibson Ricky Skaggs Distressed Master Model - My New Mandolin
#7 and #13 at Carter's, #7 looks more distressed than #13 and is $2500 more. Must be the sound difference?
Re: Gibson Ricky Skaggs Distressed Master Model - My New Mandolin
Was wondering the same...

Hi KMaynard,
I just acquired the Gibson Ricky Skaggs DMM #7. Can you send me the info you have about it? I just curious a little bit about it. Thanks.
Regards,
Morris

Morris -
PM sent. Congrats on #7. I have #6, and consider it the best mandolin I've had the opportunity to play.
Re: Gibson Ricky Skaggs Distressed Master Model - My New Mandolin
So Happy for You K Maynard

I own Skaggs #30. I purchased it from Carter’s Vintage. It is signed only by Ricky and is one of few with true 1 piece back and sounds amazing.

Would you mind sending my some pictures of #30 for my archive? Also any nuances or history that you know and don't mind being public.
Thanks
Re: Gibson Ricky Skaggs Distressed Master Model - My New Mandolin
I own #30 signed by Ricky December 21 2009. It is one of few with actual 1 piece back and it sounds great.

Enjoy. My experience from when I was shopping around a few years back. I never played or heard a DMM that wasn't a great bluegrass mandolin.
