Supertone!

Hey banjo friends- Just finished a restoration on this mid grade supertone, it turned out pretty good. It is for singer songwriter Gregory Alan Isakov, who also plays a banjo I built for him. The three piece neck with dyed hardwood fingerboard is pretty warped, so the action can't be as low as I want, but it is right where Gregory wants it.

I put on some new Gotoh tuners, skin head, bridge, nut, pip and strings. And don't forget the K+K pickup.

Banjo for Gregory Alan Isakov

I actually built this banjo about a year ago but Gregory just brought it back in for a checkup and to adjust some things. It is all walnut with 12 inch block rim and ebony fingerboard. Aquila minstrel strings and a high bridge for that old timey sound.

Gregory was one of the first people I met when I came to Colorado and he is a great musician and singer/songwriter. Check out his stuff.

I am also restoring an old banjo for him, which you will see soon.
