Walnut banjo  /  Two metal co-ordinator rods

This OME Jubilee 12″ open-back banjo has choice Walnut neck and rim. Ebony peghead overlay, flat fingerboard, and heelcap. Rim bound at bottom with tortoise bindings on inside and outside. Nickel hardware. 26 hooks and nuts with two metal co-ordinator rod construction. Wooden armrest.

For years, the Jubilee model has been OME’s most popular open-back banjo. Some of the nicest traditional throw-back inlays that have been stylized for the modern period appear on this banjo in abalone and pearl. The peghead shows a double-cut waist with a peak at the top, and tasteful arrangement of crescent moon with stylized stars sprinkled around the peghead. The moon motif is repeated at the 5th fret with more stars and a large diamond at the 12th fret. Upper fingerboard has S-Curve scallop for ease of playing. Bone nut. White side dots along bass side of fingerboard. Decorative lighter wood layer underneath Ebony fingerboard. H&K Tuners with matching amber iridescent buttons. Nickel hardware.

These OME banjos are highly playable. The neck is pleasant to hold and the tone jumps out of it. We love how these banjos play and sound.

Comes with nice original hard case.
