From banjo bill-e on 11/24/2015 10:56:46 AM

Just learned about this change in a thread on the forum, and was wondering if anyone has had the chance to compare old to new? I am concerned about any increase in weight in the neck and overall balance of this wonderful lightweight banjo. While I have an older one that I like a lot, I sort of have plans to add a fretless some day and would want to know if there is much of a difference.

One is the adjustable truss rod and the other is switching from ebony to Richlite for the fingerboard. The Richlite is more stable and a renewable material while available of good quality ebony is diminishing. Shrinking ebony has caused some banjos to end up with bowed necks so I decided to switch to a 2-way adjustable rod. The difference in weight ends up being only about 3 or 4oz. Thank you for asking, I have been working on a new web site that will have all this updated information. Sorry to all of my customers for not getting this info out sooner. Kevin
