Weber Bridger mandolin
Hi all,
I'm looking online at a secondhand but very nice F-style Weber Bridger mandolin with the round(ish) soundhole. It looks gorgeous and is in very nice condition, but i can't find anythng about them. its obviously a discontinued model and I'm wondering where it fits in with Bruce's other models - Gallatin, Yellowstone etc. I'm thinking it would make a nice pair to my A-style Bitterroot. I'd go and have a look, but its a couple of hundred miles away from me. Four hundred miles round trip with fuel prices where they are to look at something that may not be what I hope it is doesn't hold much appeal! On the other hand, if its a good'un then the time and fuel will be a great investment.
One reason I'm slightly cautious is that to my knowledge Bruce named all his models after Montana rivers; Bitteroot, Gallatin, Yellowstone etc. I don't think there's a Bridger river in Montana; Google couldn't find one anywhere else either...
Help please, Hive mind!
I always thought growing old would take longer...
