| This is a gorgeous example of Mark Platin's
custom work! Mark has been building superb high-end banjos
for thirty years using his unique turned rims and proprietary tone rings.
Rather than fabricate his pots from wrapped laminates, he precision
turns them from solid blocks of maple, giving his banjos a sonic
presence unique to Wildwood.
The Paragon model Wildwood usually features
either curly hard Maple (stained or natural finish) or quarter sawn American
black walnut. The banjo pictured above arrived early this week and
features a custom solid Indian rosewood neck and matching rosewood resonator!
What a spectacular looking custom piece!!!
