Possibly the best Bluegrass group....ever.

Leftwich is no slouch on that fiddle (or on a mandolin for that matter)

Just saw Ricky and Kentucky Thunder last weekend, for the first time. An amazing show by the way. Anyone know which Loar he plays now? It is extremely distressed; broken scroll on the headstock and excessive wear on the front and back of the body? Sounds great of course.

Pawful! Yesir.

Last time I seen the Thunder Ricky was playing Pee Wee and what a killer sounding mandolin. Awesome tone on that one for some reason, must be all the times it was refinished so it took down the wood even more than normal?

They were great this year with past members Brian Sutton and Cody Kilby joining them.

I believe it is some recent clone of a loar to replicate Bills mandolin.
It may still be Gibson made...
