When you need a great luthier, a master builder of state of the art necks, set up and replacing frets, look no farther! Don Bryant in Thurmon, NC is the best I have ever seen! He is reasonably priced and just a fine, honest man. I highly recommend Don for all your banjo needs!

I ran across an early 60s Bow tie Gibson that was in very poor shape. It had been rode hard and put up wet. After speaking with Sammy Shelor and Jimmy Fraley they both recommended Mr. Don Bryant. I took their advice and asked Don if he could help. He agreed and today I picked it up. I was totally shocked at the fine job he had done! Nearly perfect work and also surpassed my every expectation. The refinished neck is now perfectly fit and the set up is.....well, just WOW! The strings are set with perfect low action with no buzz any place on the neck. I am totally amazed with Don's attention to detail and his workmanship, and a wonderful person to top everything off! I will never consider anyone else to work on my banjos and I highly suggest the same for anyone who wants a quality banjo! Thank you Don!!!!
