These models are available in fancy curly maple, and classic American black walnut. The necks and resonators are bound and purfled, and as you can see, tastefully inlaid with combinations of mother of pearl, and abalone. Cold plating, heel carving, and metal engraving are options available upon request. 1 piece cast resonator flange, and a 3 ply solid maple core resonator, veneered with either fancy curly maple, or curly figured American black walnut. All necks feature ebony peg head, fingerboards, and heel caps.
All hardware is the best available in nickel plated brass.
Frankly, it would be hard to improve upon these fine bluegrass banjos. The Soloist features the ornate Tree of Life inlay pattern. The Wildwood Soloist arrived by UPS Ground on Tuesday-perfect condition. I have packaged my Deering up in the same material that Wildwood used and will have it shipped out to you next week. I fortunately had a few gigs during the week and this weekend.
