Were there headstock options on the openback banjos in the past? They all seem to be ‘minstrel’ style. I can’t seem to find the headstock/neck options for those kits. Looking for a fretted openback with a ‘mountain’ style headstock and neck like in the pic here.

I sold the bent rim kits with peghead options for about one year and had not a lot of success. I am currently focusing on the minstrel neck and will consider offering other neck options in the future. Is there a certain neck option you would like to see on a bent rim kit?
Thank you!I would like a bent rim one with a fretted ‘Appalachian’ style headstock/neck like the one that’s offered in the Mountain Banjo Kit.
FYI I’m really happy with how my fretless minstrel gourd banjo came out by the way! Thanks!
I just checked out your gourd post on the other page, looks really nice, thank you for sharing freeman.
The Appalachian neck could definitely be an offering on a 12” rim in the future.
I’m planning to start the year 2025 with just the Appalachian necks and minstrel necks and maybe a third- I’m thinking the Banza neck, If there is interest I will make all 3 neck types available across the mountain kit, gourd kit and rim kits. I’m trying to focus in on making less neck types so I can build up a stock and then be able to ship out orders much faster.
