11" Walnut and Curly Maple Slot-head Openback

This is an excellent banjo with a no frills appearance.  It has a walnut pot and tonering with curly maple trim cap.  I used nickel hardware and a nice comfortable armrest.  A No-Knot tailpiece, Renaissance head, and a maple and ebony bridge complete the pot.  The neck is also walnut with a curly maple strip and heel cap.  The headstock is a slot-head design with 16:1 guitar tuners to make the tuning easy and it has an ebony veneer.  I went with a Gotoh 5th string tuner for quick string changes.  The fretboard is also ebony and has pearl dots for position markers, side dots, and a cow bone nut. The fretboard has 17 frets and an exposed truss rod nut in the scoop.  This is a fine banjo and is currently available at Capos Music Store in Abingdon, VA, or at their website www.caposmusicstore.com.
