Banjo #539 – “Skull Creek”
A hauntingly beautiful instrument, the Skull Creek fretted gourd banjo captures the spirit of raw craftsmanship and mystery. Its peghead features a hand-carved skull emerging from the wood itself, giving the impression of something ancient awakening from the earth. The nut is crafted from real bone, adding both authenticity and eerie character. With its rustic finish and bright, balanced tone, this banjo feels like it was unearthed from a forgotten cabin along a dark creek. A striking blend of folk art and musical soul — mysterious, primal, and full of life from another time.
