OLD-TIME MODELS
OME’S OLD-TIME 5-STRING OPEN-BACK BANJOS are styled after late 19th and early 20th century instruments and give a sweeter, mellower tone favored by contemporary Clawhammer banjo players. They feature our shorter 25.5” scale; wider 1.34” nut width; single wooden rim rod; 17 fret S-scoped fingerboard; and hand-aged solid brass OME hardware. The banjos in the OLD-TIME series are offered in 11” and 12” body size with several tone-ring, inlay pattern, tone wood and finish options. Like all OMES, these open-back banjos come with a two-way adjustable truss rod; hand-filed and shaped frets and string nut; OME brass hardware; plush-lined hard-shell case; and limited lifetime warranty to the original owner.
