Dave Mills

This Dave Mills Frailing banjo, built during 2018,  is an open-back style mostly using Rickard components, not surprising as Mills and Rickard are associates. These instruments are pretty straightforward, and this Mills Frailing model uses a cherry-stained Maple neck with Ebony fingerboard.

This neatly constructed Dave Mills 5 string openback banjo uses a 12 inch pot with a spun-over Maple rim and Dobson-style tone ring, and a 3-piece Maple neck with an Ebony fingerboard that carries a frailing scoop. The Maple used on the rim and neck has a very convincing Cherry stain – so convincing that even our repair shop staff thought it was cherry from a short distance!     The head uses a traditional ‘paddle’ outline.
