Fresh into the shop today is a 2005 Gibson Original Acoustic Instruments Alan Bibey Gibson Mandolin! These don't come up often!

This 2005 Alan Bibey model from Gibson was the workhorse mandolin for Missy Werner for 15 years. Reflected in the honest play wear, it’s tried, true, and tested to elevate your bluegrass tone to new heights. On Consignment, no trades.

If you get an invite from a legend like Vince, you have to take it.

Key takeaway that artists today should take note. Show scheduled start time 7:30, Vince hit the stage at 7:30. He values your time. They played 37 songs in just over 3 hours. Yes, 3+ hours, no intermission, and the only break he had was when he featured all the other artists on stage and he still played mandolin or guitar during those.

I’d love to see some of today’s artists put down 3 hours of non stop singing AND playing without any break and without auto-tune. Absolutely ICONIC show.

Cant wait for the next one!
