Chuck Lee has an eye for woods and an ear for tone.  This all-walnut banjo's understated look puts emphasis on the beauty of burled grain.  The Electric (Whyte Laydie) tone ring provides dynamic and punchy tone.  Raw brass hardware includes a side-grooved tension hoop (no hooks on top), for playing comfort without armrest, Peghed tuning gears look like violin pegs, but are geared inside.
