#3457 Custom Walnut Dobson Special – A One-of-a-Kind Old-Time Masterpiece

Bold, earthy, and unmistakably unique, the Custom Walnut Dobson Special is a handcrafted 12″ open-back banjo built for serious old-time players. Featuring a Dobson tone ring and a goatskin head mounted by Happy Hollow Music Co., it offers deep, round bass with crisp, articulate highs—ideal for expressive clawhammer playing.

A rare streaked persimmon fretboard sets this banjo apart visually, accented by a custom copper S-scoop and copper side dot inlays for a touch of rustic elegance. The 25.5″ scale neck is fast and comfortable, while nickel-plated hardware, ox bone nut, a Mulheron bridge, and Hawktail tailpiece provide tonal clarity and rock-solid performance. A sculpted walnut Armadillo armrest rounds out the build, offering ergonomic support and beautiful grain contrast.

From front-porch jams to the recording studio, this custom Pisgah delivers classic tone with refined style.
