Hey there!
So the other day I got to writing down some answers to a lot of the questions I get from players interested in handmade open back banjos.
And I put together this guide:

In it, I look at a few things such as:
- Why choose a handmade open back banjo?
- What to consider when choosing a Luthier
- How to calculate import costs from the US and compare it to buying from the UK
- How to choose the wood for your banjo
- Choosing your fingerboard
- Rim choices
- Tone rings
- Neck strength
- Tuner buttons and tuners
- Plastic head or velum?
- Peg head
- Bridges, tail pieces, binding and rim hardware
- Fret wire and strings
- Inlay
- Choosing a finish
The guide is free, and I’ve tried to be as helpful as possible.
If you have any other questions, or you’re thinking about choosing a handmade banjo for your next instrument, I’d love to answer any questions you might have.
