It is a custom Road Kill model with a full length 5th string. The rim is 2 play Maple with Bubinga Wood Integral Tone Ring and cap. The rim is completed and the neck is roughed shaped at this point, I'll be wrapping this one up before the new year. The headstock features a minstrel style headstock thats enlarged to handle the extra tunning peg and wider nut for the full length 5th string. <img class="serendipity_image_center" width="550" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09007/BM09007_C_01.png" alt="" /> <img class="serendipity_image_center" width="550" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09007/BM09007_C_02.png" alt="" /> <img class="serendipity_image_center" width="550" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09007/BM09007_C_03.png" alt="" /> Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:36:34 -0500 http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/56-guid.html http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/banjo banjo building bubinga budget road kill Introducing the BM09003 aka The Inspiration for the "Road Kill" http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/36-Introducing-the-BM09003-aka-The-Inspiration-for-the-Road-Kill.html Banjo Building http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/36-Introducing-the-BM09003-aka-The-Inspiration-for-the-Road-Kill.html#comments http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/wfwcomment.php?cid=36 0 http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/rss.php?version=2.0&type=comments&cid=36 nospam@example.com (Neil Turner) This banjo was a blast to design and build! The BM09003 features a simple design with a Bubinga Wood tone ring and rim cap, elegant Dobson style heal and clean rosewood fingerboard and headstock overlay. The Bubinga tone ring gives this banjo a wonderful, rich voice. This banjo has inspired me to create a Banjo on a Budget model, that I have dubbed the "Road Kill". The budget model will have a standard headstock shape vs. this traditional one, but be identical otherwise and will sell for $800. If your interested in such a banjo please contact me.

I am planning on making this type of banjo a standard offering at Buzzard Mountain. It should retail for about $800 and be about the best banjo available in that price range. It will have the following features: - 2 Ply Hard Maple Rim - Bubinga Wood Tone Ring - Bubinga Rim Overlay - Standard square headstock profile with Rosewood overlay (The custom I am currently working on has a upgraded headstock profile) - Rosewood finger board - White Side dots - Grooved Tension hoop with 14 brackets & shoes - Fyberskin, Amber or Frosted head. - Dobson style heel - Bone nut & 5th Pip - Planetary tuners with ebony knobs Here are a couple of photos of the custom version I am working on now: Here is the rim, it has been turned and the holes are drilled and it just needs to be sanded and finished. <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09-003/BM09003-C1.png' onclick="F1 = window.open('/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09-003/BM09003-C1.png','Zoom','height=498,width=665,top=283.5,left=515,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><img class="serendipity_image_center" width="650" height="483" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09-003/BM09003-C1.png" alt="" /></a> Here is the neck blank in my jig getting the finger board glued on. <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09-003/BM09003-C2.png' onclick="F1 = window.open('/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09-003/BM09003-C2.png','Zoom','height=342,width=665,top=361.5,left=515,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><img class="serendipity_image_center" width="650" height="327" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/BM09-003/BM09003-C2.png" alt="" /></a> This banjo is turning out great! I will keep some progress photos going here. If your interested in one of these please contact me at the link above. I am still trying to think up a good name for the standard model, not sure yet but I am leaning towards the Buzzard Mountain "Road Kill" Banjo. <img src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/templates/default/img/emoticons/wink.png" alt=";-)" style="display: inline; vertical-align: bottom;" class="emoticon" /> I am also working on the S6 Guitar banjo prototype, here is a sneak peek at what its shaping up to be. <a class='serendipity_image_link' href='http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_PC_01.png' onclick="F1 = window.open('/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_PC_01.png','Zoom','height=397,width=665,top=334,left=515,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resize=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=yes'); return false;"><img class="serendipity_image_center" width="650" height="382" style="border: 0px; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;" src="http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/uploads/blogimages/S6Prototype/S6_PC_01.png" alt="" /></a> Thu, 07 May 2009 18:12:09 -0400 http://buzzardmountain.com/blog/archives/33-guid.html http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/banjo banjo building bm09003 bubinga budget road kill somerset banjos
