This is the 22nd banjo I have built. It has a 3/4 " thick rim and the nut width is 1-3/16" with 1" spacing from the 1st to the 4th string. There is a two way truss rod accessed from the heel. The fretboard and nut are jatoba which is also known as Brazilian cherry. The dots are maple dowels. The head is a Renaissance. The hardware all came from Stew-Mac and Elderly Instruments so it is of good quality. The tuners are made by Gotoh. The scale length is 26-3/16" and the action at the 12th fret is slightly over 1/8" with the current bridge. The finish is Tru Oil.
