I've had the new OME North Star for a week and I'm very pleased with its tone and craftsmanship. I've ordered a Sosebee 9/16" high bridge to swap out for the 5/8" high Sosebee bridge that came installed from OME. It seems that makers of old-time banjoes tend to install a bit higher bridge for a higher action than guitar players may be used to using. When I got my Pisgah last year I also swapped out the higher bridge that came installed on that banjo for the graciously included lower-height bridge.
