would anyone have a picture of theirs and/or a recomendation to replace one that has been lost?

i am also looking for a recomendation on what you use to tighten the nuts on the ends of the hooks. they're more rounded than I am used to and my deep socket wrenches dont fit so far.

Does your banjo have a hole in the bottom of the heel ? A deep well 5/16 socket should fit or a banjo nut "T" wrench in 5/16" Tommy

Forum Post: (untitled) Linked by 35planar 7 years ago: Looking for an ODE 5-string neck, pre-Baldwin, dowel stick or no dowel stick, long or standard, tuners or none as long as the truss rod, frets, and wood are decent with no twist. I know, seems futile.
