This one-off instrument is rather remarkable for several reasons: 1) it has a huge, 13-inch, thin-wall walnut pot. 2) It has a natural skin head with really cool markings, and 3) it has a gorgeous walnut neck--and I love walnut.

The gigundo pot makes for a really deep resonance, which is enhanced by the skin head. This is a really deep and warm banjo.

The price for this piece of art is $2895. Case options are limited, as its 13-inch pot takes it out of the standard sizes, but we'll be happy to discuss the matter with you. Sold.

	The peghead has a distinctive shape and an ebony overlay..			All five tuners are the Pegheds brand 4:1 planetary geared units that are disguised as friction-style fiddle pegs.
	The banjo comes with a neatly marked skin head, a No-Knot tailpiece, and is strung with Nylgut brand strings for great depth and plunkthitude!			This is an all walnut banjo, including the pot.
	The ebony fingerboard has a light, reddish hue: very beautiful! Chuck's standard offset abalone dots are inlaid as position markers, and are complemented by side marker dots, as well.			The 3-piece neck is predominantly walnut with some beautiful grain!
	The 13-inch pot is made of 2-ply walnut, and has a shaped tone rim.			The metal bits are Chuck's proprietary pieces in natural brass.
