  • Front and side of Chuck Lee Lone Star Custom 12" Openback Banjo, Integral Wood Tone Ring
    This Chuck Lee Lone Star Deluxe Custom features a beautifully colored natural walnut neck made from a tree that was cut down 100 years ago. With his typical artistic eye, Chuck used a blue center strip to emphasize the blue coloring in the neck wood and filled 2 small worm holes with ebony dust to emphasize its history.  The 12” maple rim is stained black, has a curly maple cap and is tapered to form the tone ring. The straightforward good looks are complemented by Pegheds tuners - they look like violin pegs, but are geared inside. Handmade in Texas.
    The exact appearance of this item may vary.
