Hey,
I have been trying to contact Huber Banjos, but no luck (emailed and voicemails seem to be a one way experience). So maybe someone can offer some advice. I have a Kalamazoo that is really pristine with the exception of the top back of the neck. It has been stored for the last several years and the last time I cleaned it I treated the frets with some conditioner. Sadly I must had some trace amount of the conditioner on my left hand when I put it back in the case... there is some areas that seem to have eaten into the lacquer... absolutely bummed me out.
Wondering where I can have the finish either repaired or have the back converted to a speed neck? Not thrilled to ship it, but I'm up north about an hour from Pittsburgh Pa.
Any ideas would be appreciated,
thanks
-Larry

For some reason it appears that Huber does not pride themselves on customer service. I do not own a Huber but from what you read on here , it’s hard to get help from them once you have their banjo. Good luck . Ditto on Mr Murphy’s advice.
On their website it states that they were out for a period in May.
I do not own a Huber banjo, but they have been very responsive when I contacted them.
Casey Sullivan does the finish work at Huber. I was in the Huber shop recently and Casey told me he was "covered up" in finish/re-finish work at that time.
Anyone you chose, you'll probably have no neck or no Kalamazoo for nearly a year once you send it out...
If you need Casey Sullivan's number private message me. He's a great finish man. Highly recommend!
Hey Larry,
I'd have a qualified tech do the speed neck...I've done a couple that had finish issues and came out looking much better than WITH the issues.
Best of luck
