Five-String Banjos
Open-back five string banjos are a specialty here at Smakula Fretted Instruments. Clawhammer banjo is a style well suited to the open back five string. We rarely have resonator Bluegrass banjos for sale, but from time to time we will have one or two in stock. Please inquire, as those instruments might not make it to the web page.
Fifth String Railroad Spike Capos: Installed free on request when you buy one of our banjos.
Enoch Tradesman Banjos
11" or 12" rim with black finish, 25 1/2" scale, natural finish walnut or cherry neck with a Dobson-style profile and round heel, Richlite fretboard with dot inlays and an adjustable trussrod. Geared Gotoh planet & 5th tuners and cool octagonal dowel stick. Available fretted or fretless. In our opinion, the best new utility banjo on the market.
