At The Farm, we don’t rely on bland manufacturer stock photos - we physically photograph one of each model to show a better representation of the product. Some minor details like wood grain and color finish can, and may vary slightly from the pictures below.
Rest assured, just like on all of our serialized products each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff.
Looking for a banjo that's a little on the dark side? You're going to want add this sexy bajo to your collection! The pure black stain of the all Maple wood is accented with matte black hardware and a black head that combine to put a dark twist on an otherwise traditional instrument.
