This is a beautiful birdseye maple and walnut banjo with a round brass rod tone ring. The birdseye maple is stunning, with very tight grain and curl figure in addition to the birdseye. I went with 5/16" string spacing for a total nut width of 1 1/4". The scale length is 26 1/4". There are abalone position markers at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, and 12th frets and an engraved pearl star on the ebony headstock. The neck has a strip of walnut to match the pot and a beautiful birdseye and walnut heel cap. The nickel tuners are Five Star brand. The pot has a Renaissance head, a No-Knot tailpiece and a wire style arm rest. The bridge is a hand-made maple and ebony moon style bridge. My hand rubbed french polish finish completes the banjo.
