About This Listing

A superb open back banjo from the now-shuttered workshop of Wildwood banjos. This example was made in Wildwood's first location in Arcata, California, likely in the 1990s, and is in excellent condition. Featuring a machined block maple rim, a bracket shoe band, and a marginally wider fingerboard than is traditional, this banjo is a unique take on a classic design.

  • 1990's
  • 11" block rock maple rim
  • Tubaphone tone ring
  • Highly figured maple neck with ebony fretboard
  • Intricate pearloid fingerboard inlays
  • Black plastic and maple bound fingerboard and rim with marquetry
  • 1-7/32" nut width
  • 26-1/8" scale
  • Geared planetary tuning machines
  • Fiberskyn head

Includes hard case.



About us:

At Dusty Strings, we thoroughly inspect each new and used instrument prior to offering it for sale and take whatever steps we believe are necessary to ensure it will perform its best for most players. Our standards are exceptionally high. For new instruments, that means we make minor adjustments as needed, for good playability, but that instruments with fundamental flaws are returned to their manufacturer without going for sale. For used instruments, we perform whatever cleaning, restringing, adjustments, or repairs that are needed for them to perform their best.

The result of our attention to detail is that when you first take your newly purchased instrument out of its case, it will be ready to play. Does this mean the instruments will satisfy your particular sensibilities or account for settling into its new environment? Perhaps not, but those issues fall in the realm of custom setup, something that our professional repair shop is happy to help with if you live within visiting distance. If you live outside our area, we’d recommend a visit to your favorite local luthier, who will be able to help.
