This nicely finished, full-size Mulucky brand open back banjo is all maple with a very natural looking Remo Weatherking head. I add my colorful hand-painted wildflower meadow design around the edge of the top, protected by a coat of matte varnish. Matching flowers on the headstock complement the main design and are protected by a satin varnish that matches the rest of the instrument. This five-string banjo has great resonance and the open back allows action height to be easily fine-tuned with the accessible tensioner. Weight is also less than a resonator style banjo.

(NOTE: “Custom head only” option is just for the cost of me painting a new banjo head cover that you ship to me. It does not include either the head head itself or a banjo)

Includes a nicely-padded gig bag, extra strings, metal finger picks, and a strap.

I can do other designs on the head, either custom or similar to my many other instrument designs. Just check ahead to discuss and for pricing. I can also paint any banjo of your choice that you ship to me. Any questions, send a message!

International orders may add an import duty upon pickup. Please check ahead with your postal service.

Wow.. I'm absolutely floored by this instrument. It is even more gorgeous in person. Karl was also gracious enough to add some Alaskan fireweed and forget-me-nots to the wildflower mix. I also can't believe how fast this arrived, and in pristine condition! Thank you so much, I will treasure this!

I am soooooo happy with this banjo!!! The colorful wildflower artwork is beautifully done with a lot of love, care, and attention. I love playing a banjo with flowers on it, and I think the idea of adding art to the banjo head and headstock is ingenious. The banjo itself, a Mulucky, is pretty darn good! I used to play semi-professionally and had a Gibson Mastertone, and I'm pretty happy with how resonant and responsive the Mulucky is. Overall, this is one of the best purchases I've ever made on Etsy!

This was my first time buying on Etsy and I didn’t fully understand the app yet and when i bought it i accidentally put the wrong shipping address, the Seller immediately fixed it and was super nice and wasn’t annoyed by my questions. I bought the banjo for my boyfriend and he LOVES it. It’s gorgeous and looked exactly like I wanted it to.
