Welcome to Buckeye Banjos!

After much deliberation, I've decided to close the waiting list for "custom" banjo orders once I hit banjo #199. When I have completed banjo #199 I plan to focus on making banjos of my own design and offer them for sale (I will build banjos in a wide variety of styles and degrees of ornamentation that should satisfy a range of tastes) - I estimate this will be sometime in 2017. As of November 2013 I have orders which will take me to banjo #194 so if you are interested in a custom Buckeye Banjo please contact me soon!

Be sure to check out the Latest Banjos page where you can see the oddest banjo that I've ever made. It is a seven string banjo with a tunneled seventh string starting at the 13th fret, an electric guitar style peghead and some really cool Art-Deco inlay. There is also a nice simple banjo with no ornamentation except a brass peghead overlay and brass heel cap.
