 Webber 000-12fret Slot head |
*** SOLD! *** Here is a true one of a kind Webber. The sides and back on this instrument are of Macassar Ebony and the top is Sitka Spruce. Snake wood binding adorns the body, neck and headstock. The Headstock is slot head style with individual Waverly Tunning Machines. Abalone is employed for the Rosette, Purfling and for the rectangular fret markers. A nice accent is the use of Macasssar Ebony for the bridge as well. Ebony is also used for the Bridge Pins, Headstock Veneer Plate and Fingerboard. The nut measures 1 3/4" and the string spacing at the saddle is 2 1/4 inches. The sound is big and rich with balance as well as articulation. Though preowned, this is a very special instrument, built as a limited run of custom instruments with select woods. Truely a one off. |
 Webber Mini Jumbo |
This Webber is a mini jumbo or jumbo shrimp as they are sometimes called by their builder. Back and side woods on this piece are Walnut and to top wood is Englemann Spruce. Ebony is liberally used for the fingerboard, fingerboard binding, headstock veneer, bridge, and bridge pins. The headstock logo "W" is very stealthy being that it is inlaid probably in Walnut into the Ebony. The tuners are also very understated as they are black with Ebony buttons. Nut and saddle are bone. The bracing is scallopped and tappered. If you have not played a mini jumbo before they have a nice punch but retain clarity. Webbers seem to project the sound right off of the top as if the sound is already out in the room, as opposed to coming out of the soundhole. Looking for a Webber and don't want to come up with new pricing, this is it. There is one ding on the top of this near new guitar. Look closely at the photos, lower bout bottom section. |
