14" Maple 12 String Banjitar with Removable Resonator

This is a custom 12 string banjo built for an Ud player. The pot is 14" and has a removable resonator which screws off with a 1/4 turn. The banjo is made from beautiful curly maple with walnut accents. The neck has a 25.5" scale length, katalox fretboard, and headstock veneer. I custom cast a brass 12 string tailpiece and brazed my custom casting to the base of a brass adjustable 5 string tailpiece. The banjo has a goatskin head and a custom made brass tension hoop. The tension hoop was hand engraved with the owner's name by a well regarded craftsman. I also created a custom mount for a pickup from the same curly maple. Everything about this banjo is custom, including some major fabrications I had to do to a guitar case for it to fit into. This banjo now lives in Israel!
