Pisgah Banjos - 11" Custom Dobson Half-Fretless

This 11" Pisgah is a nod to the vintage Dobson-style banjos of the past, with a few custom-ordered tweaks. Hand-made in Asheville, NC with native hardwoods, this 12" features a gorgeous stained Maple neck, combined with a stainless steel rim and Dobson tone ring for punchy sound with loads of sustain and a quicker fall off. A Mulheron walnut bridge helps to tame pesky overtones, delivering a nice dry sound that mellows nicely. The recessed truss rod cover is attached via internal magnets making truss rod adjustment a breeze. The standout feature is the half-fretless neck equipped with brass plates in first position and the scoop. This leads to a rounder attack that pairs well with slides in the lower range of the fingerboard. A clawhammer-style dream instrument with a striking look and warm tone. Comes with an Access Stage One gig bag and a free Mass Street setup. 11" Stainless steel rim with Dobson tone ring with aged brass hooks Half-fretless up to 7th fret; Brass Plate cover 26 3/16" scale length Stained Maple neck with satin finish and traditional dowel stick Richlite fingerboard - brass side dots and standard scoop 17 frets Paddle Headstock Folk Heel (Dobson) Fiberskyn head Two way adjustable truss rod Mulheron walnut bridge with traditional tailpiece Aged Brass hardware 4 Gotoh Planetary tuning pegs with geared 5th Gotoh tuner Serial # 4082 Access Stage One gig bag with PBCO logo
