Banjos, like the ones displayed in the instrument gallery, are generally priced starting at $500 for tackheads, and $600 for minstrel-style banjos with adjustable heads. Custom options, such as gut strings, highly figured lumber, inlayed position markers, or any other special request for unusual or expensive materials may add to the price. Banjos can be made to order or, if they are available, can be purchased as is. No deposit is required on custom orders, and banjos generally take one month to build once work starts. If, in the end, you are in any way unsatisfied with your banjo, you may always send it back within one week for a full refund.

Once an order is placed, you will receive updates about your banjo's progress, along with photographs detailing the various stages of construction, until it is complete. It is a pleasure to bring an idea for an instrument to fruition, and I try to provide as much insight into the process as possible.
