Hi everyone. I was the Weber finish guy for 12 years and I’m on the hunt for my old Weber Custom Elite. Serial number 5000. I spent a total of 4 years working on that mandolin. Unfortunately I had to sell it when I moved to Bend to help with the transition to the new ownership and I would love to bring it back to my home. I originally sold it to a gentleman in Ireland who then sold it to Trevor at TAMCO in the UK, who sold it in 2016. I’ve contacted Trevor and he did not have records of who the new owner was at that time. If you’ve seen this mandolin or know who may have it, drop me a line because I’d love to buy it back!!
Here’s some pictures from TAMCO when Trevor had it on his website, as well as one I took in the finish booth as i was applying the varnish in the old Weber schoolhouse shop in Logan, MT. Easily identifiable with the impressionist fish hook inlays. It also has an ebony stringer in the neck, and is the only Weber mandolin that does. I posted a build thread for this mandolin on the Cafe about ten years ago when it was nearing completion. I left Weber/Two Old Hippies in 2014 to go back to school and get a bachelors in Nursing and I’ve been working as an Oncology nurse for the last few years. I dream about my old mandolin often. Help me find it please!
