So for fun these are the SH owners so far by the numbers to the best of my knowledge. ..


1 - Warren Yates
2 - Ron Stewart
3 - Robby Boone
4 - (garyg) on the BHO - Don't know his real name
5 -
6 - David (Hardcase)
7 - Jim Woody (Premsore)
8(L) - Mark Kerecman (kaybone) (a lefty)
9 - Banjass (from BHO) I think-but still being built (lefty also?)

I thought that Rick Polston in TN had ordered one of these also.....maybe not. I do know that Bill Anderson has one for sure. I think it would be great to keep up with these and know where they are.

Robby - Perhaps Bill Anderson is #5 then, guess I'll ask Warren next time I talk to him.

And banjass.. Amazing! what are the chance two "lefties"
would be built one after the other. I know before I ordered mine Warren told me he had bult one lefty banjo before for someone else. I think it was one of the RS ones, or what they used to be called.

Also, I don't know how totally accurate my list is, but I think it's close.

kaybone.....

Bill's has a completely different serial number that is in no way in sequence with the others.......so it's not #5, sorry. Keep looking and asking and maybe the owner will speak up!

Just picked up Skillet Head #9, (righty) from Alvin Deskins at Morgan Music. Just a great guy and posted a mediocre one-shot sound clip to get an idea of the sound. Hats off the Warren and Ron. What a banjo!!

Number 5 would be me - Larry LaCroix (Larryjoy70). I would have acknowledged so earlier but just found the blog site (Yes, I’m format impaired). Decided to purchase the banjo from Warren due to all the positive comments posted on BHO and am having a great time playing my new SH.

Thanks Larry for letting us know! I believe that there must be somewhere in the dozen or so range of these banjos around now......let's hope that Warren keeps getting orders and stays covered up!!!

Robby
