bracing. Many instruments are pre-sold, so

maple back, rim and

Pearl peghead inlay. The

The Bighorn sheep is
an amazing animal that
inhabits the high mountain
peaks of the Rocky
Mountains. This mandolin
is neither an A nor an F as
it has two points. Since the
points reminded the Weber
Luthiers of horns, the name
Bighorn came to mind,
hence the name. Is this a
fancy A style, or a toned
down F style? It all depends
on your point of view.
