Emerald Ultrasound Rosewood short scale tenor banjo
This exquisite handmade 17-fret Emerald Ultrasound Rosewood Tenor Banjo is a masterwork of craftsmanship and tone, designed for both beauty and performance. Built on a 20” scale length, it features a three-piece laminated rosewood neck with a centre ebony strip, combining strength, stability, and rich tonal character.
The ebony fretboard is inlaid with striking Emerald abalone position markers, while the rosewood peghead showcases a finely detailed abalone Celtic knot, a matching truss rod cover, and an outlined headstock trim, all highlighting its refined artistry. A double-acting truss rod ensures perfect neck adjustment, while planetary tuners with black buttons provide smooth and precise tuning.
Every detail is elevated with gold-plated hardware, including a grooved tension hoop, Oettinger-style tailpiece, and a gold and ebony armrest. The rosewood body, fitted with a 40-hole archtop tone ring, Emerald holed two-piece flange, and twin coordinator rods, delivers a bright, projecting voice with remarkable clarity. A Remo smooth top white head and solid rosewood resonator complete the tonal engine, giving it both power and warmth.
Finished with elegant black binding throughout and strung with Elixir strings, this banjo not only plays beautifully but looks every bit the part of a performance-grade instrument. It comes housed in a black hard shell case lined with plush green velour, ensuring both protection and presentation.
