Handmade by Jason Mogi in his home shop in the Port Angeles, WA. I don't think Jason is building banjos anymore. The neck and rim are made from a stunning fir tree that was felled in the 1940's in Washington state. The fretboard, peghead, and rim cap are all Oregon walnut. Brass tone ring, armrest, and tension hoop. 1.39" nut width and 25 1/2" scale length. Some minor scratches, which are pictured. I experimented with several bridges, and to my ears it sounds best with the Bart Veerman bridge pictured. (Bart is no longer making bridges.) The thin rim gives it a nice, plunky, oldtime sound -- a truly unique and wonderful sounding instrument. It came with a super-snug fitting Alpine Boulder Series gig bag (in good condition) that I replaced with a more spacious ProTec gig bag (in like-new condition). I'll let the buyer decide which case it ships with. Note: The video link does not show the actual banjo being played, but it does provide some background info about Jason, in case you're not familiar with his work.
