My custom Bishline came today! I have to say it is perfect. Even more beautiful that the pictures they sent me. I took it to my lesson today and my teacher all but grabbed it out of my hands. He said the banjo just plays itself. I've got to go play...I can't wait any longer!

She's a beaut. Bet she plays and sounds like a dream, too. I am not the least bit jealous... Really... grumble grumble.
Seriously, nice looking banjo. Enjoy it.

Yay! Laissez les bon temps rouler! Looking good! The banjo ain't bad either!

Yes, shes very pretty and the banjo ain't bad either-
Glad you got your new 'jo! Try to keep the cats outta that case too...

Dang, Valerie, that is a sharp looking 5! I've seen your photos on your page, and Rob sure did a superb job on it. The neck is a very interesting piece as well. Hopefully, you'll be having fun with your new 5, and happy pickin' to you! Rob Bishline makes some beautiful banjos, that have great TONE and his banjos are a t a very affordable price.
Once again, Valerie, I hope you like it!

Congrats on the new banjo! 
Do you need help handcuffing your teacher, so YOU can pick it?

Congratulations, it is beautiful. I never thought much of banjos in colors other than wood tones, but that blue is awesome! I recently got a look at a Bishline Cimarron and, although it is quite a bit plainer than your custom, I was very impressed with the banjo overall.

I just took a detailed look at the Bishline on your homepage.
That thing is WICKED COOL!!

I sent Rob a picture I'd taken of the ocean. I circled the exact of turquoise I was thinking of and he created the EXACT color I asked for. I cannot believe how beautiful this banjo looks and feels and sounds.
Thank you for your kind comments. They really took my vision, made it better, and brought it to life! I am a very happy girl. ;)

That's beautiful! I love blue instruments, especially flamed maple, and those inlays are awesome. Congratulations!

Still in love with mine from 2006. Wow, has it really been that long? How time flies when you're having fun!

Congratulations! The banjo really turned out amazing! I went over all the detailed pics ... Love the color! Love the inlay! Love the engraving! It looks like you really did a great job designing and Rob and the guys did a great job making it happen. The best part is i'm confident it will sound as good as it looks!!

I've broken the 11th Commandment, Thou Shall not covet thy neighbors banjo.
I'll seek forgiveness at Elderly.

Congratulations on the new banjo. ( you may have trouble keeping the cat out of its case, though)

The girls are looking good. Enjoy your banjo and play beautiful tunes.

Beautiful and interesting design. Congrats to the creator, builder, and new owner. I am usually very traditional in preferences, but this is truly a work of art. The ability to just envision something like this amazes me.
