Eastman EBJ-WL1 Whyte Laydie Openback Banjo With Case

This little jewel of a banjo is rooted in history and tradition!

It’s based on an early 1900’s Fairbanks Whyte Laydie No.2 banjo, and it really gets a lot of things right.  Almost everything right if I’m being honest.  I love everything about it...from the look, feel, tone, playability, and all the little details such as the tortoise binding inside the rim and the bracket band.  You really can’t go wrong here if you’re in the market for this type of banjo.  Includes Free Hardshell Case, Professional Setup, Lifetime Warranty, Free Spike Installation, and Free Shipping!
