I remember Mitch showing off those banjos at Sacul some 15+ years ago. They sounded great.

Well, this answers the question I posted on the first video of yours I saw. I've often wondered why 5 string banjos terminate the 5th string at the 5th fret instead of the headstock. A tunneled 5th string is an ingenious way to get rid of that side tuner and still not have a 5th string to trip over below the 5th fret. I've built a few guitars. When I get some time I'm going to have to try my hand at building a banjo.

Hahaha! That's awesome! Good one! When I want to drool out the sides of my mouth, I put a UT shirt in there. Can't do it for too long, though, or I'll have permanent damage.

Some good information here, especially if a person is a live performer or serious recorder. It's always good to get the story from someone who has actual experience.

I thought that looked like a texas shaped inlay on the fret board, never saw a banjo like that one before. So thats sorta the predecessor for the Nechville style banjo necks. Thanks for the info into the Banjo behind... I mean in front of the Banjoman.

Thanks Ben for the info! I've always been slightly curious about your banjo while watching your videos. I've always thought that banjo players go a little nuts with traditional construction... It's nice to see 5th string tunneling.

You can't talk banjo's to banjo dorks like us and not tell us what rim/ring combo you have in there!! Its like telling somebody about your muscle car and not telling what motor/tranny combo you are using!!
