Yates Banjos are built by Warren Yates in Benton, Kentucky, in the tradition of the prewar Gibson Mastertones — same dimensions, same construction philosophy, same commitment to tone. Yates relics his banjos so they look and feel like they’ve been played for decades. Mahogany construction, rosewood fingerboards, speed necks. Warren also makes his own tone rings used by other builders in high-end parts banjo builds.
Every Yates we sell ships with a professional setup by our banjo tech Tara and free shipping in the US. Call Geoff at (404) 218-8580 to discuss current inventory.
