I have been wanting a Gibson Distressed mandolin for some time and just waiting on the right one to come along. I know this is not the regular Distressed model, but the Ricky Skaggs Distressed. As far as I know, this one hasn't been documented in the registry being kept on Facebook. When I purchased this RSDMM, I was told it was was from a collector that had purchased this one new and then just placed in his vast instrument collection.
This is #6 of 30. It isn't over-the-top distressed, but is distressed just right I think. It surely has the feel and tone of an instrument that is 80 years old. It also has a one-piece back and side-bound with old style flowerpot. It was signed on June 19, 2007.
Below are some pictures of RSDMM #6.
