Kutthroat StringWorks Banjos gracefully blend traditional old-time open back banjo design with modern technology.  Hoops are hardwood mitered-block construction and feature a classic 1840's James Ashborn-style flange in place of shoes.  Powder coated custom hardware and available dyed natural skin heads stand out in the crowd.  Modern sealed-gear Gotoh tuning machines (14:1) provide unmatched precision.
