Hi all,

After watching quite a lot of Mr Clifton Hicks' videos, I would like to add a 'Fretless Banjo' to my ever increasing collection.

I am struggling to find anywhere to source a FB locally (Lymington, south UK).

As always Andy Banjo has a very attractive Grafton Fretless, for around £300. But have a White Lady Grafton already, I was after something that looks a little different.

I love the look of the mountain style Fretless Banjos, but just can't find one. I know people may say build one, but I don't think I have either the skills or tools to do it any justice.

Any help would be appreciated.

Will

Take a look at my website for examples of what ive made to date. I can make anything you like to order. Im currently making a couple of heavily aged mountain banjos that will look like they have been sitting in an Appalachian shed for 100 years :-) flatfootjohnny.com
