Details
The headstock of this banjo showcases ebony buttons atop Rickard Cyclone tuners, embodying the Paddle shape. With a nut width of 1 11/32", it ensures a comfortable playing experience. The headstock design reflects classic elegance, seamlessly blending with the banjo's overall vintage look.
Crafted from high-quality cherry, the neck features an ebony fingerboard with 17 hardened nickel frets and brass dot inlays. The tung oil finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood, while the brass dot position markers ensure easy navigation along the fretboard. The ebony capped heel adds a touch of refinement.
The body of the Tupelo banjo is constructed with meticulous attention to detail. It includes 14 brackets and a custom 5/8" OME bridge for optimal stability and tone. The rim stick coordinator rod ensures structural integrity. The cherry rim paired with a Renaissance head produces a rich, resonant sound that captures the essence of traditional banjo tones. Aged brass hardware, including the brass aged tension hoop and Sweetone tailpiece, further accentuates its vintage charm. The wooden armrest and tortoise shell binding add a touch of elegance, while the ebonite rim cap provides durability.
