A rare treat—No. 5 of just 12 made—this is a 2008 Jason Romero Winter Limited 12″ banjo. It features a large neck profile with a frailing scoop, goatskin head, and elegant Art Nouveau inlay. The wide string spacing offers a spacious playing feel, and the ebonized Western birch rim pairs beautifully with the Honduran mahogany neck. A Romero AST tailpiece complements the Honduran rosewood inlaid tone ring, tying together the premium build with signature Romero artistry.

The large neck profile, wide spacing, and frailing scoop give it a commanding, old-time presence in the hands. And now, nearly two decades in, that Honduran mahogany neck and ebonized Western birch rim have only deepened in character. The goatskin head and inlaid Honduran rosewood tone ring deliver a voice that’s earthy and wide open—lush, woody, and effortlessly musical. 
Deep and dark is the voice, sweetly round and absorbing. I wish more open backs sounded like this J. Romero, or had as comfortably full a neck profile. | Scale Length | 25.625 in |
