2022 OME Wizard 11″ 5-String Open Back Banjo – Used

This OME Wizard was built in 2022 in Boulder, Colorado by Chuck Ogsbury and his crew. It’s in excellent, lightly played condition with just a hint of fret wear. It has an 11-inch head and a maple neck and shell. The dense maple neck delivers a strong clear tone, but the scooped fingerboard allows you to play away from the bridge for a more mellow tone. This is not a “plunky” sounding instrument when you move your right hand closer to the bridge, it’s loud and would make a great string band banjo that you don’t have to flog to be heard. The antiqued brass hardware gives it a beautiful look and the wooden armrest is more comfy than the typical cold metal armrest or tension hoop. Includes a hard shell case.
