Traditional feel pairs with a modern voice–this Bishline CF-5 is a work of art. Rob Bishline tells us these are exceptionally difficult to build, and it’s such a joy to have #002 in the shop. Walnut resonator plsu neck, Abalone trim, and then there’s the extensive carbon fiber work at the tailpiece, flange, and hoop. Add to that a tunneled 5th string and the fifth tuner at the center of the headstock. The resonator is X braced! You very much feel it while playing. Built between 2009 and 2011, this Bishline is in premium shape.

Bishline banjos are revered for good reason, this one is alive and plays fast and easy. 
Billy: This is quite a modern banjo. Lightweight due to carbon fiber components, but still wielding a full Bishline Bronze tone ring, so there is no loss of volume or tone in exchange for its light weight. This banjo sounds unlike anything else. It is so balanced in the first portion it's hard to leave it and explore the rest of the neck. However when you do it doesn’t stop developing an otherworldly banjo timbre. Hyper modern, super fast response, incredibly comfortable and sleek. Think Danny Barnes, but if Danny was a cyborg. | Scale Length | 25.625 in |
