Finished two nice banjos this week, the top one was a commission, but the bottom one is available to purchase. Check 'em out!

Just discovered the stolen banjo on 'John Pye Auctions' website, it seems it was sold for £150 earlier this month. Both John (the original customer), and I, have requested buyer and seller information from the auction house, this will then be passed on to the police.
If you are the buyer who bought the banjo at auction, return the banjo to me and I will refund your £150 and no further action will be taken.  

Finished these two banjos this week, both sound great, which goes to show that you don't necessarily need an elaborate metal tone ring! 
The Mahogany short scale is a 'stock' banjo and available to purchase, ideal for playing A and double D tunes, with plenty of poke for sessions. 

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.
