Doug made this neck to mate with a Weymann c.1900 top-of-the-line rim (described below) as a personal custom order for dealer John Bernunzio. Every deluxe feature imaginable appears on this neck. The beautifully engraved pearl inlays in the ivoroid-bound Weymann shaped headstock and neck are reminiscent of the best work from Icilio Consalvi (the Italian immigrant who set the standard for instrument engraving on Fairbanks and other Boston-made banjos beginning in the 1890s). You may want to feast your eyes on the detail in the attached photos of the headstock (front and back - with ebony back-strapping) and ivoroid-bound ebony fretboard. Catch your breath a little and observe the unique carving on the Cole-style boat-shaped heel. While you’re looking at the back of the banjo, note the metal-spun Weymann rim.  Very few of these Weymann top-of-the-line open back banjos are known to exist, and most have similar marquetry and somewhat varied elegant engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doug Unger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44690620678335,"sku":"60U-222819","price":10500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0147\/9412\/9472\/files\/60U-222819_2.jpg?v=1765555189"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.elderly.com\/collections\/banjo-mandolin-ukulele-best-of-the-year.oembed","provider":"Elderly Instruments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
