Congrats Ian!! I'm so jealous!! I'd love a Romero, although with three banjos already I'd need to do some serious rationalisation first, plus the waiting time! You've definitely done really well here  Can't wait to see and hear you playing it  |

I got this instrument on Friday last week. Here are some pics : About to open the package :  Pulling out the protective packaging material - Mrs ianLP59 managed to capture an arty shot here :  Et voila - le banjo...  Full frontal...  Fingerboard detail...  Headstock...  Back of headstock and tuners...  Rim and head - note the bronzed finish which makes it look like it's been re-claimed from the sea...  Rim close up...  Neck joint detail - note the bird's eye maple...  OK, that's it for now. I should add that this banjo sounds really sweet and I'm very happy with it. Cheers, Ian |

Lovely pics Ian! Shar did a great job capturing the moment when your banjo went up in smoke!  Keith |

Lovely, the detailing is exquisite – particularly like the deco fluting on the brackety bits.

Beautiful instrument.
I love the look of the tuners, and the birdseye on the neck.
