For a video tour - http://youtu.be/tjkosOwVTak Very cool Fretless Banjo with a Customized Bill Rickard 12" pot and a superb locally-crafted cherry wood neck (a few dark marks in photos are in the character of the wood). All hardwear including geared tuners are topnotch. Simple rolled steel tone ring. Ebony peghead overlay with pearl star. High quality ebony fretboard with scooped neck by the pot for clawhammer players. This is a great banjo that really has punch. The cherry neck was made by a talented local Minneapolis banjo maker and musician, Aaron Tacke. Aaron also customized the pot with a rosewood cap around the bottom of the rim. Comes with an over-sized soft case. Buy with confidence - check out my Ebay ratings and comments - pictures tell the story - contact me early with questions or for more photos. Returns accepted.
