Unfinished Neck with Sweeney Peghead

Comment by Bell Banjos on July 26, 2011 at 12:12pm

I have some easy-to-assemble necks in 3 peghead styles. This is the Sweeney style. These are economical and need final sanding and finishing. Rosewood or ebony pegs installed for you. Perfect if you want to make a gourd or 'bucket' banjo. They come with a tailpiece, nut wood, & bridge. The 'dowel' screws on the underside of the neck so you can file and sand the end of the neck to fit your rim. Easy woodworking. Fully functional - made from the patterns and of the wood of my finished banjos. Except you furnish the rim, strings, and finish.  A builder in Germany used this to create what he calls the "Cold Mountain" banjo. They're as raw or fancy as YOU want them to be.
