OME Jubilee 12" Openback Banjo

Unlock a world of rich, warm tone and exceptional playability with the Jubilee 12", a premium, American-made clawhammer banjo designed for players who demand the best. Every component is carefully selected and integrated to create an instrument that truly performs.

The Jubilee immediately stands out with its signature double-cut headstock and distinctive moon & stars inlay. Function matches form with the inclusion of world-class Rickard Cyclone 10:1 tuners, delivering precise, reliable tuning every time. Clawhammer players will appreciate the unique S-curve scoop, ergonomically shaped for comfortable access to the upper frets, complemented by vintage-inspired aged planetary inlays.

The sonic core of the Jubilee is its proprietary 12-inch tone rim, specifically engineered to enhance warmth and presence in the crucial low-to-midrange frequencies. This design, combined with an ebonite-capped rim for added mass and adjustable coordinator rods (or a rim-stick option) results in impressive volume, singing sustain, and the flexibility to tailor the banjo's setup to your exact preferences.

Voiced for classic clawhammer character, the Jubilee has a Sweetone tailpiece that ensures clarity, balance, and sustain across the strings.
