Some of you may know that I've been selling The Maple Ridge Banjo line of banjos made by Bill Rickard. Bill has pretty much decided to go for the 3 piece neck ( really a 2 piece with a thin black strip in the middle ) and not make the 1 piece neck for this model. I think it's a great decision and choice as the laminated necks are stronger and stable, they look better - and the shape is just great feel for any clawhammer player. Also, they have really got the setup of these banjos down perfectly now and it's an easy player with low or high action. If any of you are interested in one, feel free to contact me.
And have a great holiday season! Arnie Naiman
