The Complexity of a Banjo Neck Fit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The installation of a new neck demands high precision and specialized tools that one doesn\u2019t find in the average picker\u2019s toolshed, let alone in most local luthier shop\u2019s inventories. This is because the facing surface of the neck\u2019s heel (the part of the neck that mates up with the pot) must be cut to precisely fit the topography of your banjo\u2019s anatomy. This ensures a tight fit which in turn optimizes the tone, the playing action and the tonal response of your banjo. The machining of the neck heel must be done correctly and to tolerances of thousandths of an inch to perfectly fit the pot to all mating surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve invested in machines that enables our luthiers to perform this vital work with the highest accuracy and the best result. This custom-built device can be configured to carve a neck heel profile to fit ANY banjo pot, from ANY maker. We can accommodate rims of any size from six to fourteen inches, too. Whether you send us a Mastertone-style pot with a one-piece flange or a two-piece flange, a Vega Whyte Laydie or Tubaphone, a Weymann tenor you want to convert to five-string or a kit banjo you assembled yourself, we can do the work and return the complete banjo to you in just one to three weeks (depending upon how busy our shop is). Our staff can set up your banjo to accept the bridge height you prefer, from 1\/2″, 5\/8″, 11\/16″, 7\/8″ or more. You can order a radiused fretboard or fifth string capo spikes and we offer a variety of tuning machines, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p> ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/goldtonemusicgroup.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/necks-1024x417.jpg\")
