The Ome Ikon banjo is designed for the advanced player who is after extreme fingerpicking performance.   It features an 1 5/16" nut width, a 0.80” tall bridge, and a Jim Stull (JLS) Vintage Tone System pre-war style flange and resonator. The JLS Tone Ring is made of sand cast bell bronze tone ring and is known for its 20-hole flathead design and delivers a deep, smooth low end and crisp powerful highs.  This tone ring gives this banjo just a killer tone! This banjo features a curly maple neck and resonator, aged brass hardware, and art deco inlay design.
