Built in 2005 by Tom Jessen, Mankato MN, this is a clean example of Jessen's banjo work, featuring old and new design elements. Utilizing high grade curly maple throughout, Jessen sought the classic Harmony Resotone for Rim Assembly inspiration, and features a maple tailpiece, and brass plaque inside; no tonering. The neck is in the Boucher style, with exotic wood fingerboard and peghead overlay; equipped with Five star geared tuners. A nice sounding modern fretless banjo with easy playability.
