Weber Black Ice Mandolin 2011 - Black Ice

This little jewel was sent over to Montana Lutherie for a fresh setup with the legendary Bruce Weber himself! Give Bruce a shout if you have any questions. This one is nearly immaculate!

The 2011 Weber Black Ice mandolin remains a highly desirable premium instrument with a strong level of collectibility. Originally introduced by Weber Fine Acoustic Instruments, this specific model is prized for its dramatic aesthetic, powerful voice, and historical placement in the company’s timeline.

💫 The Tuxedo Aesthetic Package gives the Black Ice its dark and bold look. Built on the premium Yellowstone model, it features a stark, opaque solid-black gloss top contrasted against an ivory or ivoroid binding. The most stunning feature is the back, rim, and neck, which are made of AAA-grade highly flamed curly maple finished in a very unique, double-stained translucent slate lacquer. This distinct look makes the grain of the premium maple pop under the lights!

💫 The Elite Luthier Components & Build Tone woods features a hand-graduated and tuned solid Adirondack / Red Spruce top paired with premium carved maple - offering massive volume and clean projection with a heavy bluegrass chop.

💫 The Black Ice Mando comes equipped with a traditional Brekke Bridge featuring an integrated brass bar. This specific configuration provides massive string support and prevents the saddle sagging over time which allows players to adjust the action even under full string tension.

💫 The Hardware is outfitted with premium Grover tuners and a dual-action adjustable truss rod with a specialized color-filled one-piece casted Weber tailpiece that eliminates string rattles and simplifies string changes. Simply stated, this one is top-tier.
