I am offering my one of a kind Custom Helix banjo for sale or possible trade. I would rather just sell it but will entertain trades. This banjo which is a Helix Monarch Professional series banjo, was commissioned by me and was built by Larry Hill (rim) Chris Scott (neck and resonator) and Jerry Rabun (bridge)
All the wood pieces are made from Wormy Chestnut planks taken from a 150 yr old barn here in Ohio, The boards were then sent to Arizona, Kentucky< and texas to be made into the parts for this fine instrument.
The metal parts are all 1st quality, and it has Gotoh Tuners and a Fults 1934 Tail piece.
The neck is a work of art with multiple laminations of blood wood and Holly. it also has a 2 way truss rod, ebony board with abalone dot inlay and the abalone HeliX and sea turtle Logo's
The resonator is poplar, with wormy chestnut vaneers and is a really nice solid piece! also has blood wood and Holly stripes inlaid around it to match the neck!
The banjo has a brass hoop tone ring,and a Fiberskin head
Banjo is like new, I have barely played it!
There are several pictures on my home page under the folder Helix Monarch
This is the nicest (in my opinion) Helix on the planet. It is built like a brick house and has a nice warm tone, not too brassy!
Comes with Nice Hard shell case with Green Velour interior.
