Details
The Tupelo is OME's "less is more" 11-inch open back, but with subtle touches that invite closer attention. The neck is crafted from high-quality cherry and features an ebony fingerboard with 17 hardened nickel frets, brass dot inlays and an S-shaped frailing scoop. Like the neck, the rim is constructed from cherry and includes 14 brackets with an antique brass look. The tension hoop and the Sweetone tailpiece also have an aged brass finish. The paddle headstock is fitted with Rickard Cyclone tuners with ebony buttons that have a 10:1 tuning ratio. The Tupelo is finished in tung oil. This is a sweet sounding banjo with a round, plunky tone and lots of pop and projection. Includes a hardshell case.
