Ryan Hardison is building some of the very best new bluegrass banjos on the market today. Here at Turtle Hill Banjo Company we've sold several of his other builds, and this one is a super exciting one that features the "Turtle Hill Tone Ring" which is a replica of a Prewar Gibson shiny face flathead tone ring from a 1939 RB-75.
The neck is one of the most comfortable feeling necks you'll ever try, and the tone is out of this world!
