2009 OME Bright Angel 5-String Banjo – Used

Here’s a great example of the Boulder Colorado OME crew at their best. Highly figured maple beautifully stained and finished, a great inlay design done with impeccable workmanship, and the 12 inch head lends it a great gutsy bottom end to compliment the banjo trebles. This tone is partly thanks to the fact that although it has a big head the string scale is still standard, which puts the bridge closer to the center of the head (where the head is more flexible).

It’s hard to find any playing wear, but you can’t fault the previous owner for being content to just look at a banjo this beautiful.
