These pots can be made to sound like any of the banjos that I reproduce. For now, only the nickel hardware is available. All you need is a neck and its hardware, a resonator and its hardware and case. I will supply the parts you see in the picture;

Yates Thermal Aged red maple rim, strips installed in the bottom (not under the tone ring), stamped YatesAGED and label.

Flange, tension hoop, hooks and nuts, arm rest, coordinator rods, set of strings, two neck lags, four L-brackets with screws, Remo high crown head, all parts distressed, Presto tail piece and hand turned Yates vintage tone ring (made to fit the sound you need). 

These pots are copies of very special banjos. Earl's, RB-75, RB-3 including Banger, RB-4, the last Granada (no gold plating right now).  More soon.  Pots are built to order. No V33 rings are part of this.

The basic price $2,850.00 sold in the USA only. Add shipping.  If you want to place an order, call me at 828-294-0578    North Carolina

 

So what are strips in the rims? The old three ply rims often are mistaken as five ply rims. In fact the strips were added for reasons that I will not discuss. They were installed in a way that it was often hard to tell that they were there.  Here is and example of how I build them.
