Now here’s something you don’t see every day—a one-off, truly special open-back banjo from the legendary Wayne Henderson. Built with classic old-time sensibilities: Fiberskin head, Maple rim, Walnut neck, planetary tuners, fifth string capo and rolled brass tonering. The neck has a slim, fast profile, and the tone is pure vintage clawhammer gold. For the connoisseur of old-time music and the admirer of Wayne’s masterful craft alike, this is a rare and wonderful opportunity.
*Upon discussing with Wayne, we believe this banjo is like from 1993-1994.

Wayne and I go way back, and every time I see one of his instruments, I’m reminded why he’s a living legend. This banjo has that old-time soul baked right in—warm, woody, and alive in your hands. It’s rare to find a one-off like this, and rarer still to feel this much history and heart in a single instrument. 
Henderson Banjo - Now here's something you don't see every day. I've played dozens of Wayne's flattops over the years, and several of his mandolins to boot, even a ukulele or two. But an open back banjo is a first for me. Slim neck profile with a XYZ nut width will feel right at home with smaller hands. Appointment upgrades come in the form of intricately engraved MOP position markers, plus Wayne's namesake at the headstock. Nickel hardware throughout, including a sliding 5th string capo. 1 in stock
