033 – Seeders Engraved Style 3 Banjo

/ / Published in Banjos

This banjo was built as the first prototype for a standard Seeders model I’ve been working on. It’s not named yet and the final details and options being finalized for future builds. It features W.A. Cole and Fairbanks inspired appointments with a few of my own twists. The tone ring is a variation of the classic W.A. Cole Eclipse tone ring, a modern Little Wonder tone ring placed on pins to raise the ring off of the rim. This give is a very crisp punchy sound with a lot of presence that will cut through in a group setting without being too loud or overpowering.
