Cedar Mountain Tenor Banjo Ukulele 2008 - Cherry

Cedar Mountain Tenor Banjo Ukulele (Cherry) w/ Cardinal Inlay – Handmade for my father and in Excellent Condition.

This is a handcrafted Cedar Mountain tenor banjo ukulele built in Brevard, North Carolina by Lo Gordon—one of the most respected small-shop builders in the old-time banjo world.

This instrument features a beautiful cherry wood neck and rim with a warm, mellow tone typical of Cedar Mountain’s “woody” construction (no heavy metal tone ring). It is fitted with a Fiberskyn-style head, giving it that classic old-time character—less harsh brightness, more warmth and depth.

A standout feature is the custom red cardinal inlay on the headstock, done in abalone and other materials. This is not a standard production design and gives the instrument a unique, artistic touch.
