Curly Maple 12″ rim and neck, carefully selected for its beauty and tonal properties. 5/16″ Maple rim has tortoise-plastic binding. Rosewood flat fingerboard with pearl dot inlays. Rosewood armrest. Ebony heelcap. Adjustable truss rod. Flamed maple dowel stick. Notched brass tension hoop. Bone nut. H&K Planetary tuners with amber knobs. Antiqued brass and nickel hardware. 26 hooks and nuts. Dotson bridge. Real 1937 American Buffalo Nickel inlaid in Ebony peghead overlay.

There is a 45-degree bevel on the fingerboard after the 17th fret, on the 5th string side of neck. This clever design helps keep the fingers from slamming into the fretboard or fret ends. It almost gives you the same feel as a complete scoop, without losing access to these high frets.

This banjo was hand made by Chuck Ogsbury, founder of ODE and OME banjo companies.

Did you miss that? This banjo was handmade entirely by Chuck Ogsbury, arguably the most experienced banjo maker on earth! These special limited edition banjos are going fast.
