    Default Re: The Return of the Weber

    In late May last year we published their formal announcement of their intent to temporarily stop and dedicate their mandolin luthiers to guitars until they caught up with their orders. While we don't have information on where they are at, we do know The Mandolin Store just received a new mandolin from them a few weeks ago and still have a high end left-handed F they've not received. This just indicates this didn't all stop the day the announcement was made, and possibly some staff is filling out promised orders. We can't be sure. Dennis (The Mandolin Store) told me the other half of what he has on order from them is supposed to arrive in 2023. I suppose all of this sounds ominous and out of the ordinary, but Collings is also backed up on guitars and concentrating on them. They've been promising delivery of mandolins on order for 2023 since late last summer. This is all not going to catch up real soon. All of the big producers of instruments are behind right now.

    The only guarantee we'll really know where this is headed or how it will end up is when they announce they're returning to building them, or not.
