Tom Nechville has just shipped us our first of his new line, the Nechville Flex-Tone bluegrass banjo!

The Nechville Flex-Tone series starts with the Classic FT banjo. The Classic FT features a Classic peghead, the stylish Diamond Blossom inlay on a non-radiused fingerboard. A comfort beveled armrest, Nechville Enterprise compensated bridge and the Nechville inline tailpiece make this a solid, snappy bluegrass banjo.

The Nechville Flex-Tone features a neck system allowing for easy adjustment of the action, and even simple removal of the neck for easier travel packing.

These professional-quality instruments are built with bluegrass playing in mind, and the Nechville Flux Capacitor gives them all the adjustablilty of other Nechville instruments!
