Banjo #271, “Stella”
This banjo is simply amazing….fantastic sound and playability and will “sing” for generations. The “wood recipe” has some of our favorite woods…Bilinga, Ebony, Wenge and Oregon Big Leaf Maple. Features like the scalloped and radiused fretboard and the tunnelled 5th string really enhance playability…it is pretty too! It features a new look on the back-side (see photos). Like all of our banjos, it is guaranteed for lifetime for the original owner.
