 20-hole flathead ring. Mahogany, with a stunning quilted mahogany resonator. Like all Phantoms, it has a tunneled  5th string and radiused fingerboard, making it a dream to play!   Click here for pictures

 All Studio King banjos are rare, and only a handful of them are known with one piece flange. This mahogany banjo has a 40-hole tone ring; very similar to a Style 3, but with fancier concentric rings on the resonator. Nice condition, with a new 5-string neck by Richie Dotson. It is a very powerful banjo!  Click here for pictures

Only thirty of Nechville's 30th anniversary banjo were built, and we purchased seven of them. This is the last one, so if this is your dream banjo, don't wait. Features include custom inlay, EVO frets, smoke chrome hardware, and amber tuner buttons. Maple wood with Nebula Northern Lights black finish. Of course it has a radiused fingerboard, tunneled fifth string, and a special 30-hole cyclotronic tone ring. This is a really stunning banjo, and the pics don't come close to doing it justice!    Click here for pictures

Gold Tone EBM electric banjo in like-new condition, with a hardshell case. If you've been interested in trying an electric banjo, this is a very reasonably priced choice..   Click here for pictures

 This is an extremely rare variety, identical to the style 11 but with the name S S STEWART on the peghead. It has a new Richie Dotson conversion neck now. The rim has not been cut, so it has the   brass hoop ring as made. It has all the tone and volume you'd want, but with a lot less weight; in fact, I doubt that you'd know that it didn't have a heavy ring. Richie made this one with the wreath  inlay. The pot is 100% original with the exception of the tailpieces.   Click here for pictures

This is a very strange banjo. The rim is 1925 Gibson (FON 8172) with a ball bearing tone ring. The metal parts have been replated, and the armrest and tailpiece are modern. The resonator is obviously not original, and is attached by two thumb screws. As you can see in the pics, engraved metal bands have been placed around the tension hoop, tone ring, and resonator. The neck is of unknown manufacture. It has Gotoh tuners. There is virtually no fret wear on the rosewood fingerboard. If you are looking a real bargain banjo, this might just be it.  Click here for pictures

 This  interesting banjo has gold plated, unengraved metal parts, which is  standard for the model, and a flathead ring. The one piece flange is in  nice condition, as is the entire banjo. The 5th string tuner has been  replaced, and there are tiny holes on the side of the neck, where a  sliding capo had been mounted. The neck was modified, probably in the  1980s, by Bill Godfrey, who reshaped the peghead and replaced the  fingerboard with one having Florentine Special inlay. There is only  light wear on the first three frets. It has a pickup attached Click here for pictures
