Here I have a neck, rim, and tone ring for sale as a set. Hand crafted by me, Robert Browder. Happy to consider any reasonable offers. This neck and rim just need hardware to be a complete banjo. This instrument has been strung up and playing in the past but I removed the parts for use with another banjo. It has a few scuffs but is otherwise in great condition.
The neck is made from cherry and has a fretless rosewood fingerboard. This neck is steel re-enforced. Being fretless the scale length is somewhat flexible but is planned to be 25.5 inches. The peghead is already drilled for standard 5 star type planetary tuners. Already has a nut and fifth string pip slotted for nylon string gauges.
The rim is 4 ply and is a total of 9/16 thick. 12" diameter. 2 and 3/8 inches deep. The outside laminations of the rim are cherry that matches the neck. This rim already has holes drilled for shoes, mounting the neck, and attaching an end bolt. Grooved tension hoop is recommended for this shoe spacing.
The tone ring is rolled, round stock brass.
This is the next best thing to a kit! Choose your own head and hardware to make it your own.
