 Nechville Zeus Banjo

 
 
   As you pick up the Zeus, you'll realize why Tom Nechville named this banjo after the king of gods.  Players really seem to love the lighter weight of this banjo, as well as its smooth-feeling neck profile,  radiused fingerboard and avante garde peghead profile.  The beveled wooden armrest feels smooth on your forearm,  the neck shape makes chording easier,  providing clean, distinct and full bodied musical notes. You hear a woody, penetrating clarity with none of the sonic interference that is ever present in other traditional banjos. 

 

 
    The Nechville inline tailpiece is adjustable three different ways, and the Helimount pot assembly is customizable for any style or setup.  The Exotic Wood Open Architecture Tone ring delivers incredible punch and volume from every note played on the Zeus.  As a matter of fact,  you can customize the response of your banjo simply by installing a different ratio of nylon or metal ball bearings!  Tom starts with a 50:50 mix of nylon and steel balls ... add a higher ratio of steel for a noticeably brighter and tighter bass ... go to more nylon balls for a fatter mellower tone!
