The Sweetgrass open back banjo is one of OME's Professional models, which "provide the serious musician with all the essentials needed for a top performing instrument". Curly maple neck and rim with beautiful polished lacquer finish, vintage tone ring, and finishing touches like the rosewood armrest and mother-of-pearl & abalone inlays should make this a top option for anyone looking for an old-time banjo with a bright, articulate voice. Priced with hard case.
