This is the third banjo produced in my Lightweight banjo line. It is constructed of beautiful curly maple and cherry, with an ebony fretboard and headstock. The pot has a turned flange to eliminate the weight of the "L" shoe brackets normally used on banjos. The pot also has a curly maple tone ring that was turned on the lathe. The neck and pot are joined with a dowel stick and an ebony wedge to eliminate additional weight. The neck is made from the same beautiful curly maple and has a cherry heel cap. Pearl position markers and side dots mark the ebony fretboard and an exposed truss rod nut is visible in the frailing scoop. A single engraved star adorns the headstock. The entire banjo is finished in a french polish that is beautiful and silky. It has a very sweet tone!
