Hi my name is Marteka, I am 16 years old. Geoff Stelling endorsed me about 3 months ago. He built me a one of a kind Top Tension banjo.

Mr Stelling also named this model after me, The Marteka Challenge, He built a Deluxe model and displayed it at the IBMA this past weekend, he said he was,nt sure of the price of the Marteka Challenge until he gets some more made and on the market, but would be around $7500.

This is an amazing sounding banjo as is all Stellings I have heard. I have entered the Scruggs Banjo Contest on the Hangout go take a listen................Thanks,Marteka

	kmwaters says: 10/2/2013 5:49:58 PM Nothing custom about it. If you go to Stelling site and look at the Masters Cross you pretty much see everything. Love it. Geoff is a master builder. I don't understand that Capo Music guy. He's about 200 mi. from Stelling in Afton and doesn't even carry them!! Has about 7 brands listed on his website and no Stelling. Very surprising.
	martekalake97 says: 10/2/2013 5:56:48 PM For one thing my banjo is top tension, the enlay is different, the neck has got more of a feel of a Gibson, there's quite a bit actually custom about it.
	martekalake97 says: 10/2/2013 6:10:51 PM You must be looking at the wrong banjo, mine looks nothing like the Masters cross
	banjomule says: 10/12/2013 3:17:54 AM That is a fantastic looking banjo and you sure seem to know how to make it sound great as well! Congratulations on the endorsement. I look forward to hearing much more from you.
