#3492 Custom A-Scale Rambler Dobson Special

Description

Pisgah #3492 is a handcrafted A-scale Rambler Dobson Special—an instrument that balances tradition, tone, and playability with unmistakable character. The 23.5″ scale length offers a lighter string tension and a slightly compact feel, ideal for A or Double D tunings and players who prefer a more relaxed left-hand experience.

At the core is a Dobson tone ring, delivering a refined blend of warmth and clarity. Expect round lows, clean mids, and bright highs with a bit of snap—perfect for melodic clawhammer and old-time rhythm alike. Paired with a 12″ rim and a goat skin head mounted by Happy Hollow Music Co., this banjo has a responsive, open voice with dynamic range and earthy charm.

Technical highlights include:

• Slotted headstock: classic aesthetics and even string pull

• Richlite fretboard: smooth under the fingers, rock-solid through all climates

• Curly walnut Armodillo armrest: contoured comfort with natural beauty

• Hawktail tailpiece: increases sustain and enhances clarity across the register

• Mullheron bridge: light, articulate, and tonally balanced

Built in North Carolina using native hardwoods and precision craftsmanship, #3492 is a modern take on a timeless sound—reliable, expressive, and built to last. Whether you’re on stage, at a jam, or just playing for yourself, this banjo is ready to go wherever the tune leads.
