OME’s North Star openback banjo features an OME Vintage brass tone ring fitted to an 11” 2-ply maple rim to produce the clearest and brightest tone of their old-time banjo lineup. The curly maple neck has a scooped ebony fretboard with beautiful pearl & abalone inlays. Aged hardware and a wooden armrest add to its fine looks. This banjo was built in OME’s small 3-craftsperson shop using sustainably harvested woods.
