I am selling as I have accumulated quite a few guitars. This is the start of my guitar reduction.
David Webber, in my estimation, makes the best guitar for the money and he is fabulous with Maple........not an easy wood to master in guitar making. Kim Walker is my other favorite maple guitar builder and I sold my Walker maple for in excess of $20,000. This Webber OMc ranks right up there with the Walker in tone. By the way, maple is probably the best wood for recording.

Notes: "SERIAL #4101914: David Webber wrote me that the last 4 digits of the serial number are the important ones. The 410 is irrelevant and is the prefix on all the instruments. The 19 is the 19th guitar that year. The 14 is the year, 2014 it was made. Add up the various production numbers over the years and yours is the xxxth of 1409 guitar to date through 7-1-15. The guitars can be shipped much later than the year of manufacture, just to keep it interesting. And in the past when I built more than 100 instruments I added a digit that will further confuse the historians someday.
All the data is kept in frayed black book with hand entries from many of my past employees and myself."
