Pete Seeger created the first long neck to allow him to sing in a lower, more comfortable range. Long neck banjos can be capoed at the third fret and played as a regular 5-string in the key of G, or left open and played in the lower key of E.
This banjo has an adjustable tropical mahogany neck; a hard, dense, colorful, exotic, and naturally beautiful ebony fingerboard; and engraved diamond shaped mother-of-pearl inlays. See Deering's website for further details on the Black Diamond Longneck.
Comes with the hard case shown. For extra style, this particular banjo has had a black Deering Banjo Head and black arm rest added.
