We are beside ourselves about this wonderful banjo made right here in Colorado. Action is low and very amenable to melodic three-finger playing, and the set-up is good in all positions on the neck. Fretwear is very minimal, and there are no defects, chips or marks anywhere on the banjo to indicate that it's in anything less than ideal condition.
#OME BANJO LOTUS INLAY SERIES#
They feature presentation grade woods completely ivoroid bound, hand-engraved Artist Series inlays, hand-carved and dye-colored heel, peghead, rim, and resonator, and hand engraved gold-plated metal parts. What's more, this Celtic Star is in excellent condition, belying very careful playing and proper care by its owner. ARTIST ARTIST MODELS are for those who prefer an extraordinary instrument of exceptional beauty, quality, and value.
This banjo is simply the apex of what we've carried lately, and one of the finest instruments Chuck Ogsbury and Ome Banjo Company ever made. The resonator, heel, and back of the headstock all feature some of the most impressive wood inlay work we've seen, with multi-colored bands of maple forming helixes around the perimeter of the resonator, and a Celtic knot on the back, as well as the words "50 Years".
Beautiful mother-of-pearl and abalone inlay work form Celtic stars, knots, and flowers on the fretboard and headstock, and unbelievably intricate engraving on the gold-plated hardware is guaranteed to set this banjo apart from nearly any other. But the specifications sheet simply can't tell the whole story where this 50th Anniversary model is concerned, as the cosmetics are what truly make it one-of-a-kind. With all-curly maple construction and a Megatone tone ring, the sound has all the twang, sparkle and clarity that all bluegrass banjo players yearn for out of a fine instrument. In all regards - sound, visual appointments, playability, and anything else you might care to mention - this stunning banjo is the complete package. Let's get something out of the way very quickly: you would be hard-pressed to find a better modern resonator banjo than this Ome Celtic Star, built custom for the company's 50th anniversary in 2012.
