Carver Banjos strives to create the best instruments possible for the highest value. This kit tips a hat to the traditional mountain banjo style of Frank Proffitt and other iconic builders featured in the Foxfire series with a few features that are completely unique and new.

You need no woodworking experience or specialized tools. You’ll be free to enjoy the unique experience of building your own instrument without the worry of costly mistakes. The end result is a fully-playable banjo with a personal connection to you.

Now offering 8 unique neck styles to customize your instrument (Appalachian is the default neck).

Each style is available with or without frets. Each neck option is shown and labeled in the photo gallery.
