Description
Number of Strings: 5 Country/Region of Manufacture: United States


Here is the second banjo that I built and it features a three piece neck of Birdseye maple with a walnut center strip, a walnut head piece with mother of peal and abalone inlays as well as on the rosewood fingerboard. The resonator is also walnut. It has a hand made curved bridge and behind it a tone enhancer( eliminates some of a banjos ' brashness and is there for personal tastes). Also features a handmade water buffalo shoulder strap which are pretty rare!. It's a great sounding banjo that is easy to play with low action. I am the builder and only owner. Buy it now and have 7 days to see if it's not the one you've been looking for. Just let me know and pay the shipping back if not for you - just be sure it comes back as you got it and insured. Thanks for looking and please ask any questions. PS, I took off the varnish on the back of the neck. I found it played easier. And it comes with a hard shell case. Probably forgetting other stuff so don't be afraid to ask.
