The last new factory direct Eastman EBJ-WL1 Whyte Laydie No. 2! The result of a passionate years-long collaboration between John Bernunzio and the Eastman Music Company, this banjo in-every-way recreates the extant 1903 example referenced in design, having underwent a full-prototyping process with John, and features a light weight, thin 3/8" thick and 10-3/4"in diameter rim assembly w/ scalloped Whyte Laydie tonering/bracket band. All of the metal parts/hardware were painstakingly replicated, from neck ferrule to long collar; grooved tension hoop. The maple neck is fully bound w/ 25.75" scale ebony fingerboard, finely engraved pearl in the period style, and notably a Gryphon on the peghead's face. Includes reproduction Bump case with COA.
