{"product_id":"rickard-dobson-standard-11-curly-maple-5-string-banjo-new-14093","title":"Rickard Dobson Standard 11\" Curly Maple 5-String Banjo New","description":"Rickard’s Dobson Standard is built with a maple neck, a 1\/2 inch thick maple rim and faux tortoise binding, aged brass hardware and their 10:1 Ratio Cyclone Tuners. We ordered this banjo with the curly maple upgrade for an extra bit of pizazz. It has a 25.5\" scale length, an ebony fretboard with a frailing scoop and EVO gold fretwire. It’s fitted with a Dobson-style tone ring, the hottest thing going in the banjo world of the 1880s. The 11-inch head gives this banjo a round, woody sound and the tone-ring adds a bit of clarity and projection. You might even say this banjo has a mellow tone, at least compared to other banjos. The neck has a graceful 'boat heel' design with a lot of heft to it and the peghead 1880s paddle style. This Rickard banjo is a thoughtful blend of modern functionality and antique aesthetics.","brand":"Rickard Banjos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43233586446535,"sku":"RIC11DOBSTDCM-1457","price":2345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1116381_f4c19955-0634-4354-b8cd-3dded4cbe70d.jpg?v=1777012385","url":"https:\/\/www.gryphonstrings.com\/products\/rickard-dobson-standard-11-curly-maple-5-string-banjo-new-14093","provider":"Gryphon Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
