h Don Bryant put me in touch with Joe Hawks who had a Pyramid pot for sale. Joe also had a rb1 style mahogany neck. So we worked out a deal for the pot and the neck. Joe threw in tuners, tailpiece, strings and a bridge. I assembled it today, tightned the head to 91 and strung it up. I used a paramount tailpiece. This banjo will rock the house and the tone is amazing. I am very pleased with the banjo. While a style 1 neck isn't period correct I do not plan to change anything. I like it just the way it is.
