Banjo Studio is proud to be a Pisgah dealer. You are viewing the actual banjo that you'll be purchasing.

This Custom Pisgah Possum was handmade by Pisgah Banjo Co. in Asheville, North Carolina. It starts with everything players love about the Possum, a 12" cherry rim with a persimmon tone ring, and a low action that lets you play for hours. We took the foundation of this great banjo and added our Banjo Studio tweaks to give it an extra touch of class.

What makes it unique:

Standard scale neck. Our regular Cherry Possums have had a short scale neck. The full standard scale gives a bit more snap, volume and note clarity, and a little more room between the frets for your fingers.

Slotted headstock. The open slots and side-mounted gold Gotoh tuners give the peghead a classic 19th-century look, with a quilted star inlay.

Hawktail tailpiece. A traditional aged brass open-back tailpiece that holds even down pressure on the bridge for clear, focused notes.

JB Schall ball shoes. Bracket shoes patterned after J.B. Schall's 1800s Chicago hardware, paired with Pisgah's aged brass frailing notch tension hoop.

The sound: the persimmon tone ring gives a warm, woody tone with a rich low end, the 12" cherry rim adds depth and a round, plunky bass, and the scooped fingerboard gives your strumming hand room to frail.

Comes with a padded Pisgah Banjo Co. gig bag and Pisgah's certificate of ownership. Every banjo is professionally set up and checked by Banjo Studio before it ships.
