Hi

I’m looking to get on Jason Romeros gourd banjo waitlist. I’ve emailed a couple of times and sent messages on instagram but not getting anything back. Has anyone else struggled to make contact. I don’t want to keep bothering him

From his website:

Our waitlist opens annually on January 1 (24 hours starting 12am PST) for custom banjos to be built approximately 5 years from ordering.

To get on the build list
Email or call us with your interest anytime during the day on January 1 (24 hours starting 12am PST). We'll then draw a limited number of names for the build list. On January 2 we will send the selected names instructions for paying the $500 USD non-refundable deposit. We take most payment methods.

There wouldn’t be many gourd makers that run their order book like that. Owning a Romero instrument must be a very exclusive club. I hope you get there before you die.

From the Romero Banjos “Gourd Banjos” page:

Ordering:

- Wait time is approx. 1 year (may be more or less depending on when we've squeezed in a gourd batch)
- Email us to be put on the waitlist. No deposit needed.

That's for his rim banjos. The gourds are added to a separate wait list. They can be requested at anytime. I've emailed but not getting any response
