This 12" Tupelo banjo boasts a rich, resonant tone, perfect for traditional music styles.
The elegant paddle-shaped headstock showcases tortoid buttons atop Rickard Cyclone tuners, complementing the vintage aesthetic. A comfortable 1 11/32" nut width makes playing a breeze.
The neck features a Rosewood fingerboard with 17 hardened nickel frets and brass dot inlays, all finished with a smooth tung oil. Brass dot side markers and an ebony capped heel add to the refined look.
A custom 5/8" OME bridge and rim stick coordinator rod ensure optimal stability and tone. Aged brass hardware, including the tension hoop and Sweetone tailpiece, contribute to the banjo's classic appeal. The wooden armrest, tortoise shell binding, and ebonite rim cap provide both comfort and durability.
With a 25.5" scale length and weighing approximately 5.7 lbs, this banjo is comfortable to play and easy to transport. It comes strung with .010, .012, .015, .024w, .010 gauge strings in standard GDGBD tuning and includes a case for protection.
