ildwood Bluegrass Banjos deliver sound with style and character. We feature a "flat head style" cast tone ring, one piece cast resonator flange, fancy fiddleback maple or American black walnut necks inlaid with mother of pearl and abalone, binding and purfling, and fancy figured matching resonators. These banjos are truly hard driving workhorses designed to make serious bluegrass music!

There are three models within our bluegrass line. The Artist, The Paragon, and The Soloist.

As with all Wildwood banjos each successive model has fancier figured woods for necks and resonators, and more complicated or intricate inlay patterns. We believe that there is no room for compromise when it comes to playability and sound–but you should have a choice as to how your instrument looks.

 

The Artist:
Newly designed inlays feature mother of pearl inlaid into red abalone. Technically challenging but appears much like the older traditional bluegrass inlays of the 1950’s. Available in either curly hard Maple (stained or natural finish) or quarter sawn American black walnut.
   
The Paragon:
A truly traditional bluegrass inlay pattern done in mother of pearl and available as an option in green and red abalone. Available in curly hard Maple (stained or natural finish) or quarter sawn American black walnut.
   
The Soloist:
Features the ornate "tree of life" inlay pattern. A winding stem of mother of pearl from the bottom of the fingerboard to the first fret. Flowers and leaves cut from red and green abalone. A true labor of love, resulting in a beautiful banjo. Though we can’t guaranty that you will play your tunes any better, others will think that you should! The Soloist is available in our finest curly hard Maple neck and resonator, or the beautiful quarter sawn American black walnut neck, with a burl figured resonator to match.

Tenor and Plectrum models, and optional tone rings such as the arch top or tubaphone-style are available as well.


Optional gold plating and engraving
