We're delighted to offer for-sale a new Dobson Professional model from Pisgah Banjo Co. (Asheville, NC); we first met the founder Patrick years ago at one of the Banjo Collector's Gatherings, so we know he did his research. Pisgah Banjo Co. uses 100% solar power, and Native Appalachian hardwoods. This model features a 12" maple rim w/ brass Dobson tonering; all aged brass hardware is made by sister-company Balsam Banjo Works; setup with a 5/8" bridge with fantastic punch, sweet tone, and subtlety. The dark stained maple neck features a 25.5" short scale Richelite fingerboard with s-shaped frailing scoop, compensated Delrin nut, and brass side dots; the peghead is slotted, is equipped with geared tuners w/ black tulip shaped buttons on the peghead with geared fifth. Deluxe branded gig-bag included, and Limited Lifetime warranty.
