Description
The Naked banjo Series are Gourdies made primarily of one wood. In this case, Curly Birdseye maple is used throughout the main part of the banjo …the neck, fretboard, or fingerboard is Curly Maple. I try to pick the best grains and color for these banjos to result in a very striking instrument. This piece is particularly nice.
