The Montana Rose was a versatile lightweight banjo produced for only a few years in Bozeman, Montana.
The company mainly built mandolins but did produce some banjos. By the time this banjo was built, Gibson had taken over the company. Gibson had also just brought on Greg Rich to oversee and revamp the banjo line, vastly improving the quality.
This banjo has mahogany construction and a Stewart MacDonald brass tone hoop, making far lighter in weight than a standard mastertone. It is versatile enough to handle 3 finger bluegrass, 2 finger and clawhammer old time styles.
one headstock tuner and the 5th string tuner are replaced, as well as the tailpiece and bridge. All else is original.
The headstock has a repair to a lower wing of the “fiddle” shape, see pic. It’s not a perfect repair but is stable and the headstock veneer was not affected.
The banjo sounds great and loud with picks and handles clawhammer well, really fun to play.
does not come with a case but will be double boxed and carefully packed with special attention to the neck.
Note- this is my description for Reverb so apologies if I’m stating the obvious to any gear heads out there lol
