Its Honduran mahogany neck and Ziricote fretboard offer an exceptionally smooth playing experience, while Waverly tuners ensure rock-solid stability. This isn't just a guitar; it's an investment in unparalleled sound and enduring craftsmanship. Each note rings clear, promising a truly remarkable musical journey. Get ready to experience a robust, responsive instrument that truly delivers!
From Bourgeois Guitars
The name Banjo Killer was coined by Bryan Sutton for his six-stringed onstage sidekick, back in the day when he burst onto the bluegrass scene in the late 1990s. Featuring a double scalloped X brace design, stiffer back bracing and a 25.5” scale, the Banjo Killer’s bark is as terrifying as its bite. Bearclaw Sitka Spruce, figured Mahogany and our distinctive “snakehead” headstock round out an otherwise understated aesthetic presentation.
