Nechville Photon Custom Resonator Banjo (#2657)













Regular price SOLD
Avenue Guitars will be on break until 4/22.
Online orders will still be fulfilled on a limited schedule. Learn more here.
The Nechville Photon resonator banjo takes Nechville's signature Phantom design and adds a few extra features:
- Quilted mahogany resonator
- Macassar ebony fingerboard
- 5th string fret roller
- Arrows and dots inlay
- White binding
Like the Phantom, the Photon utilized Nechville's proprietary Heli-Mount frame to allow for quick, easy head changes and tension adjustments.
This model typically has a chrome-plated resonator, but we customized it with their black powdercoated frame. Not only does this give the banjo a unique look, it drops the price by about $375 compared to a standard Photon.
Includes hardshell case.
