The Standard

This model is a solid 11″ openback that includes all the elements I personally prefer in a banjo, making it the standard on which I base most of my instruments. The Standard has a classic Buckbee style peghead, brass rod tonering, 25.5″ scale, and all aged brass hardware. This one performs great solo, or in a jam setting.
