I believe this banjo was the first "G-bs-n styled" Nechville to be built. Years ago, I suggested to them that one way to increase acceptance for Tom's innovative banjos would be to offer a model that looked familiar to players. Hence...
I specified the most highly figured black walnut wood they could obtain. The radiused ebony fretboard (with Evo Gold frets) and the headstock bear the desirable "flying eagle" inlay set, in high-grade pearl. Overall, the condition is excellent. I refreshed the setup last night with a string set (.095" .0115" .014" .022"w .095") chosen to bring out the best gibby tone palette coupled with great playability . It really POPS. Hard case included.
