Banjo #71, walnut 12″ with brass hardware-sold

This banjo has a walnut rim and neck, with a curly walnut peghead overlay and a streaky ebony fretboard. I will add a walnut armrest for $35, if you’d like one just let me know. This banjo has a Renaissance head on a 12″ rim with a wood tone ring profile. The scale length is 25-1/2″ and the nut is 1-3/8″ wide. The neck has a two way truss rod accessed from the heel, brass dots, EVO fret wire, Gotoh tuners and Corian nuts. I made the Van Eps style tension hoop and the dowel stick yoke, the tailpiece and head came from Smakula Fretted Instruments and the rest of the hardware came from Balsam Banjo Works. The finish is Tru Oil. The banjo is currently set up with a tall 5th string nut to raise the 5th to the level of the other strings, but I can shorten the nut so the string rests on the 5th fret if desired. I can also add 5th string spikes for $5 each. To see a video of this banjo please follow the link below:
