I'm in love with my custom Heirloom (MOP Cardigan corgi at full run on the headstock and paw prints on the fretboard rather than dogs) and am smitten with my Okie. Though I'm tall (female), I play seated and prefer a short scale. The Corgi resonator banjo is magnificent in figured maple with koa binding, radiused fretboard, and short scale. About to order a customized openback. It'll be a short scale with radiused fretboard and it will have an MOP Cardigan (with the tail) corgi on the headstock. I think we're going to go with mahogany for sustain, but we're still talking species. Rob's been fantastic about getting back to me with answers to my questions... and it's almost time to push the button. Can't wait.

	4Corgis says: 8/7/2017 4:40:09 PM Ron, the Cimmaron is a great banjo, too. I think any banjo from Bishline can outshine many other makers' highest end offerings. Rob and I have homed in on maple with koa binding, for species and are finalizing our discussion about tone ring (probably a Whyte Ladye) with Elite head. Rob says this combo should give the sustain of the Okie. I will update when we make a final decision on specs.
