Experience the Elderly Difference
The Tupelo is OME’s most basic old-time model. It features a shorter 25.5” scale, wider 1.34” nut width, and 17-fret S-scooped fingerboard. The 2-ply solid maple rim is 9/16” thick and is capped with black ebonite and bound with simulated tortoise shell. The 12” maple tone rim construction, combined with fewer brackets and wood rim-rod, produce OME’s “woodiest” old-time banjo tone.
