The BB'25 is a new model being built by luthier Will Kimble
from Cincinnati,
Ohio. After studying Butch's vintage 1925 Gibson F5, Will
set out to recreate
the overall sound, look and feel of this wonderful mandolin
which was Butch's main recording and performing instrument
since 1984.
Said Butch:
"When the first one
arrived, I took
it out of the case and it practically wanted to play itself.
It seemed as if there was music stored up in this one, just
waiting to come out! I can't recall ever having a musical
experience like
that with another instrument. Honestly, I've NEVER played
a better new
mandolin!"
Only a few BB'25's will be built, if interested please contact
Will Kimble
