Hey Sullivan lovers--what do you play?

From schlange on 1/26/2011 4:30:46 PM

I just mailed off the BHO collaboration Sullivan banjo today! But I've got a twin (V-35 walnut, unplated ring) on order which should arrive in 2-3 months, and I can't wait!

I have a lovely Greenbrier bought directly from the Sullivans at FQMS in 2005. It's a great banjo which I've reviewed on the hangout.

I play a Festival, one of the first ones before they started making the Festival Deluxes. It is an incredible sounding banjo that I bought right here on the hangout from plunka5!

I have a Greenbrier which I bought from FQMS in 2005, and I was lucky enough to deal personally with the now much missed Bill Sullivan who telephoned me here in the UK a number of times to make sure I got exactly what I wanted.....what a guy, RIP Bill.

Hey Owen - looks like our Greenbriers are twins, separated at birth! I took the liberty of linking your "Greenbrier Breakdown" tab to the group, since it's Sullivan related (and a nice tune too!)

Just traded for a nice Festival Deluxe.

I am loving this banjo!

I've got a maple V-35 coming via UPS from Janet Davis this week, can't wait! Played one about a month ago and was sold instantly...now I just need to learn to play...

I'm on my third Sullivan now, the final maple FestivalD. After a few customizations, I think I'll keep this one a while. Murrell and Eric are class acts.

I took my BHO Sullivan V 35 to Sonny osborne's banjo camp last weekend. Lets just say it was very very well received by many pickers.

Eric,
Have you put down your Sullivan since you picked it up at FQMS?

Just when it's time to go to bed. Then I lay it next to me. :-)

I just received a Walnut V-35 from Janet Davis the other day. The sound is incredible, I love it!

Just received a new mahogany V-35 from Elderly. Congrats to the Sullivans for a real modern masterpiece. Best tone up the neck I've ever heard!

I bought one of the last Festival Deluxe models (maple) from First Quality before they were discontinued last year. Outstanding value!!! Great sound.

I should be receiving my V-35 Walnut with unplated ring myself in a few weeks.

Greenbrier ! The Sullivan guys are always great to deal with.
Sounds as good as my ESS

V-35 maple that I won here on the hangout. Incredible banjo. I received it in April and it just keeps getting better. Best banjo I ever played!
