Just wanted to share a little clip of the Weber F5 mandolin that a customer traded in to FQ. The mandolin has the following specs…
Adirondack Top
Bound F Holes
Maple Binding with Black and Ivory to create a thin black line
Yellowstone Fretboard
MOP/Abalone
Antique Tobacco Sunburst
Gold Hardware
The mandolin was built by Bruce Weber as the prize to the winner of the mandolin contest at Winfield, Ks. Give us a call if you’re interested, a really great sounding and great playing instrument.

We’ve been asked on many occasions to shoot some videos of our Sullivan Festival Banjo line, well Murrell and I finally got around to shoot some on the Festival Jam in both Mahogany and Maple, the Festival Deluxe, the Festival Custom and the Festival Pro. Hope you enjoy.

The new Sam Bush 1934 Limited Edition Fern has arrived at First Quality Music. Just a limited run of 25 instruments will be hand signed, the mandolin was inspired by Newgrass master mandolin player Sam Bush and created under the watchful eye of Gibson’s master luthier David Harvey. Gibson created a marriage of the Gibson Fern and the now famous Sam Bush model mandolin. This mandolin features many of the same appointments as the instrument depicted in the 1934 catalog, including the figured maple body chassis with a red spruce top, the mother of pearl block fingerboard inlays and the Fern peghead inlay made from genuine abalone pearl. The instrument’s stunning nitro-cellulose lacquer finish — painted in a ’30s Iced Tea burst color — is also faithfully recreated, giving the instrument its alluring vintage patina. You can check out this beautiful instrument on our website, and if you in the Louisville area be sure to stop by our showroom where we’ll be happy to let you see (and pick) it first hand.
