Build Your Custom Banjo

In building a custom banjo, there are a myriad of options available to you! If you can imagine the banjo, we can build it! Many of the typical elements of a banjo can be modified to suit your tastes.

We can custom build your banjo no matter what you’re interested in. With time as more sales are made, you will be able to review our 5 string Open Back Banjos, Bluegrass/Resonator Banjos, Tenor Banjos, and even Cello Banjos for ideas of designs you might be interested in.
