NEW! #3430 Custom Maple Rambler Special – A Rare Take on a Pisgah Favorite

Description

This is a unique opportunity to own a rare version of the Pisgah Rambler Special—crafted from maple instead of the standard walnut. The solid maple neck gives this banjo a brighter, more articulate voice, making it ideal for players seeking clarity and punch without sacrificing warmth. We’ve always wanted to see what a maple version sounded like so we made it happen and we are sure glad we did! We’ve included a FREE Armadillo armrest for no additional cost

At its heart is a 12″ copper-spun brass rim, offering a rich, resonant tone with enhanced sustain and projection. The combination of maple and spun copper creates a responsive, balanced sound that shines in both solo and ensemble settings.

Adding to the beauty and comfort is a curly walnut Armadillo armrest, and the entire instrument is protected with a durable, environmentally friendly water-based polyurethane and acrylic finish—offering long-lasting protection while highlighting the natural grain of the wood.
