OME Eclipse Custom 12" Open Back Banjo w/ Silverspun Tone Ring & Walnut Neck/Rim
Regular price SOLD
We are now operating by appointment. Learn more here.
This custom OME Eclipse open back banjo has a 12" rim instead of the 11" rim typically found on this model, offering a slightly warmer, deeper tone.
In addition, this Eclipse has been customized with a Silverspun tone ring instead of the usual Vintage ring.
The Silverspun ring is a substantially heavier ring, which should give this Eclipse more brightness, volume, and sustain.
OME's Description of the Eclipse
THE OME SILVERSPUN tone ring is made on a spinning lathe similar to a cymbal or horn. It is machine fitted to the wood rim and also incorporates an inner steel ring, which adds to its performance.
This tone ring has been used on most of our Tenor, Plectrum, and upper end 5-string open-back banjos for over 45 years and gives exceptional treble, midrange, and bass response throughout the entire playing range.
