Banjo Pricing
Current banjo prices are listed below along with prices of the various options. A Basic Buckeye Banjo is made of unfigured maple with a square peghead and all other Standard Features.  My basic banjos are made with the same care, attention to detail, and quality parts as my more highly ornamented instruments. If you have an idea but don't see it offered, just ask.

Once your order is placed the Basic Banjo price is locked in no matter how long the wait - option prices may vary slightly, but probably not much.

Examples of the various options can be seen on the Custom Options page.
