banjo during the build. When I bought mine a few years ago he
wouldn't even accept payment until a couple of weeks after I had
the banjo, he gave you a chance to preview it, I don't think he does
that anymore but he is very good to deal with...

I reread the thread and this type of banjo is probably not what you are
looking for but I still like the old time style a lot and someone else might
want to check these out...

Thanks for posting this, my wife will be pulling the trigger on one next week, I think. A great find for an affordable hand-made piece.
