Thanks for the great reply! I am debating between one of the Pisgah banjos and one made by Zachary Hoyt up in New York. Zach says he can have one for me with a Whyte Laydie tonering in a week or two. If you go to the following link, go to banjos and look at the #59. I am thinking of one like this but with a full fretted neck (not scooped).

It looks like Pisgah with the Dobson would be available in April and would be about $500 more.
Thoughts?
