Description

I got this crazy idea to go to the complete opposite of the gourd banjo spectrum and make something crazy. This is it. Little hot rod gourd 8″ kettle, crazy dye job, gloss finish, and killer tone. I did kolrose(wood tattoo) the bridge.
* Kolrosing is a scandanavian technique of cutting  designs in wood then filling the cuts with dark powders like charcoal or cinnamon, then sealing with oil.
