Nechville Leon Hunt Phantom Banjo Maple, 2012

  Nechville Leon Hunt Phantom Banjo Maple, 2012

The Nechville Leon Hunt Phantom Banjo, while not a ‘formal’ Nechville model, is based on the Nechville Phantom XXV (Phantom 25). It uses all the Nechville Phantom elements plus very highly figured maple for the neck and resonator (rather than the stock figured walnut construction), with a slight walnut tint to the finish.

 Gibson RB-250 Mastertone Banjo Natural, 1977

The Gibson RB-250 Mastertone was the working-musician’s banjo for decades and offers that classic Gibson sound with the “Snap” to the treble attack that only Gibsons have. This is essentially the same banjo as the famous Gibson RB-3 without the Wreath inlay.

The Deering Vega No.2 Open Back Banjo is based on what was unquestionably one of the most unique banjos in the history of this young and growing instrument.

Deering Sierra Mahogany 5-String Banjo Satin Natural, 2017

  Deering Sierra Mahogany 5-String Banjo Satin Natural, 2017

Here’s a Deering Sierra Mahogany 5-string banjo in satin finish, a few years old and in very nice clean condition. The Sierra is one of Deering’s most popular banjos for good reason – it’s an excellent instrument. The Deering Sierra Mahogany is also available in Maple.   Both versions carry a host of high-end features  that are very meaningful in terms of tone and playability , but have less decoration than higher-priced models.
