WOW!! We are excited to receive the new Ome Ikon. It has been many years since we seen this model and we are glad to have it back. This is one killer banjo. Truly a special instrument in both its tone and beauty. If you are looking for a new 5-string resonator banjo, this one would be hard to beat!
The Ome Ikon banjo is designed for the advanced player who is after extreme fingerpicking performance. It features an 1 5/16" nut width, a 0.80” tall bridge, and a Jim Stull (JLS) Vintage Tone System pre-war style flange and resonator. The JLS Tone Ring is made of sand cast bell bronze tone ring and is known for its 20-hole flathead design and delivers a deep, smooth low end and crisp powerful highs. This tone ring gives this banjo just a killer tone! This banjo features a curly maple neck and resonator, aged brass hardware, and art deco inlay design.
Also features a maple wooden armrest and a Deluxe hard-shell case.
