Chuck Ogsbury started building the first ODE banjos in the early '60s, back when he was just a college kid. He later sold that company to Baldwin, which continued making the banjos until 1980. This current iteration of the venerable brand is a product of the second generation of the Ogsbury family, as Chuck's son Zen, and Zen’s wife Zoe, are the people behind ODE rebirth. \r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eThis ODE Magician model features a 11-inch head, a cherry neck, and an ebony fingerboard with a generous frailing scoop past the 17th fret. The slightly aged brass hardware and lightly stained neck and shell give it a warm and woody look, and the amber knobs on the tuners continue the theme. With a 25 1\/2\" string scale it's very playable and there's no lack of volume when you want and\/or need it. Pretty cool that this Magician represents over 60 years of Ogsbury family banjo-making!","brand":"ODE Banjos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43462921715911,"sku":"ODEMAGCHE11-189","price":1795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1120211.jpg?v=1780478194","url":"https:\/\/www.gryphonstrings.com\/products\/ode-magician-11-cherry-5-string-open-back-banjo-new-15980","provider":"Gryphon Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
