Please keep an eye out for this banjo, if it turns up anywhere then it is stolen!
​UPS, the incompetent c**ts, managed to lose this banjo and are being completely unhelpful, lying f***ers, and their tracking is an utter sham.
It was being delivered within the UK, and disappeared somewhere between Norwich and Liverpool, it was collected by UPS on the 17th of October.

More pictures and details can be found in the July entry, but here are the main details:

Stamped 2023 188 on top of dowel stick
Walnut block rim with Dobson tone ring 
Photos show a Fibreskyn head, this was changed to a Remo Renaissance before being sent to customer
Mother of Pearl inlay in scoop
Ebony overlay on rear of peghead as well as front

If you're looking for a nice 12" pot, slot head, I've just added this beauty to the '..in stock' page, fresh from the workshop, only completed yesterday. 

12" Black walnut pot
Rosewood/brass rod tone ring
Renaissance head
​25.5" scale fingerboard

Just completed these very similar Walnut banjos. I'm still waiting for the customer to decide on the head for #188, in the meantime I thought I would install a Fibreskyn head, and be able to compare it side by side with a Renaissance.
#189 is currently available to buy, full details are on the 'in stock' page.

Both banjos feature beautiful Brazilian Mahogany necks (check out the colour!), I recently managed to acquire several planks of the stuff from a retired cabinet maker, who had it stored for probably over 40 years.
