120 – Custom 12″ Mahogany Dobson Special Banjo

/ / Published in Banjos

This custom Dobson Special features Mahogany and some playful custom inlays inspired by the woods and trails of the Pacific Northwest. Mushrooms and a feather as fret markers, ferns in the scoop, and mountains and a trail on the peghead under a starry sky. The combination of Mahogany, the 12″ Dobson Special tone ring and a Fiberskyn head make for a wonderfully plunky and warm tone. This banjo was made for the wonderfully talented Kendl Winter of The Lowest Pair. Don’t miss a chance to see or hear her play it!
