Custom Minstrel Tackhead Banjos

$500.00

Handmade with care in a small shop. This old-time style banjo is lightweight and fun to play. Made from solid hard maple. Some spalting and knots may be present, but this is only added character in my view. Each banjo is a little bit different but they all follow the same appearance as the banjo in the photos.

Choose from fretted or fretless, darker goat skin vs lighter goat skin etc. Add on extras like strings and a strap to save on shipping.

This banjo ships fully set-up and ready to play. Just open the box and tune it up. Please allow about 10 days for delivery as each banjo is custom made to order.

**I have a left handed model available upon request.**
