New 5-String Open Back Banjos

Bishline's new openback banjo is a real winner! Made of mahogany, with a Dobson style tone ring and a two-ply maple rim, it features brass hardware on the pot and Gotoh tuning pegs. As with all of Rob Bishline's banjos, the quality is outstanding. Click here for pictures

This openback banjo has a great sound, and lends itself well to clawhammer and three finger picking styles. It features a walnut neck with a hand rubbed oil finish, and a block rim/tone ring, with a built-in wooden flange. When Nechville introduced the Atlas, we wrote the review for Banjo Newsletter.

 The new TH Custom Nechville Phantom banjo has been very popular, so we decided to have an openback built using the same inlay design and walnut wood. Nechville is at least eight months behind on production, so if you are interested in purchasing one, give us a call.  We also have one with a 12" pot in the shop. Click here for pictures

  Ode is back! They are being built in Boulder, Colorado by Zen Ogsbury, the son of Ode and Ome founder Chuck Ogsbury. I just received my first one, and I’m quite impressed. The pot has aged brass hardware, with a wood tone ring. The neck is made of North American cherry with EVO gold frets, hand-rubbed finish, and amber tuner knobs. The Buffalo nickel set in the peghead is a neat touch. An 11” pot banjo should be arriving soon. A well-padded gig bag is included. Click here for pictures
