Phantom custom in walnut. This
model usually has either a cocobolo fingerboard (with no inlay)
or an ebony fingerboard with Galaxy inlays (which is how we usually
order them). We had this one made with a beautiful cocobolo fingerboard
AND galaxy inlay. It is stunning (but you already know that if
you've looked at the pics). The wood is fancy walnut, with maple
binding. It has a radiused fingerboard, and tunneled fifth string.
It also has Nechville's cyclotronic tone ring. Even the armrest
is different, and quite a bit more comfortable than conventional
armrests.
If you've never played one of these, you're in for a surprise.
I find it to be one of the easiest playing banjos I've ever had.
