11" walnut banjo with wood tone ring profile and zebrawood fretboard, Zach Hoyt #382

Price: $1,135.00 USD

This banjo has a walnut rim, neck and Romero-style armrest, a zebrawood fretboard and raw brass hardware. The wood has a Tru Oil finish. I will sell the banjo without the armrest for $35 less. The 11" block rim has a wood tone ring profile. There is an inclusion that I found in the neck while carving it, near the center. It's small and does not affect the structure, but it makes a dark spot in the grain, almost like a knot. The head is a Renaissance, and I can exchange it for a Fiberskyn at no charge. I made the Van Eps style tension hoop, the tone ring, and the dowel stick yoke. The head, tailpiece, strings, and Gotoh tuners came from Smakula Fretted Instruments and the rest of the hardware came from Ode Banjos. The brass plate on the dowel stick has my name, the banjo number, and the town and year of production. There is a two way truss rod in the neck, accessed from the heel. The scale length is 25-1/2", the nut is 1-3/8" wide and made from Corian, and the frets are nickel silver. The 5th string nut is tall, to keep all the strings in the same plane, but I can shorten it so the 5th string rests on the 5th fret if you prefer. I can add 5th string spikes for $5 each. If you want a case I can send the banjo in a Superior CD-1535 for $175. It is also fine to ship the banjo without a case if you don’t want one.
