Mahogany Sullivan Deluxe Banjo with hardshell case
$ 2,499.99
The Sullivan Deluxe Banjo sounds incredible and gives you more bang for your buck than instruments that cost three times as much. The neck and resonator are mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard and attractive inlays. The Sullivan Deluxe has a three-ply hard rock maple shell, a powerful Sullivan full-weight flathead tone ring, and professional keys. The frets are in excellent condition with little to no wear. This banjo was thoroughly detailed, and the metal was shined in our shop so it gleams.

The Sullivan Deluxe Banjo sounds incredible and gives you more bang for your buck than instruments that cost three times as much.
The neck and resonator are mahogany with a rosewood fingerboard and attractive inlays. The Sullivan Deluxe has a three-ply hard rock maple shell, a powerful Sullivan full-weight flathead tone ring, and professional keys. The frets are in excellent condition with little to no wear. This banjo was thoroughly detailed, and the metal was shined in our shop so it gleams.
There are a few button scratches on the resonator and a mark on the back of the headstock that is purely cosmetic. This deluxe comes with a period correct, sturdy hardshell case.
Sullivan banjos have been a leader in manufacturing for more than 45 years and have produced thousands of high-quality tone rings, including the one that is in Gibson’s J.D. Crowe RB-75 model. Sullivan also produced close to seventeen thousand necks for Gibson.

He has played professionally as a guitarist and banjo player with several bluegrass bands ever since. Geoff moved to Atlanta after college and co-founded the Watch and Learn publishing company. They now publish a full line of musical instrument instruction books and digital modules. He also owned several music stores in Atlanta from the 1980s through the mid-2000s and is still an active participant in the musical instrument re-sale community in the southeast.
Banjo Warehouse is a family business resulting from 50 years of experience in music and 40 years of experience in musical instrument retail sales and education. Our focus is on the 5-string flathead banjo, but we also occasionally have a good selection of guitars and mandolins (and other folk instruments).

The newest addition to our series of tributes to the great banjos made before the Second World War continues with this, the most beautiful edition we’ve offered yet.

We’ve responded to your many requests by offering this latest in the series that began with the OB-3 Twanger, followed by the OB-Béla and the OB-2 Bowtie. This professional-grade banjo hits all of the right notes (pun intended): the curly maple neck and resonator, premium hardware, bridge and tuning machines unite to bring you that pre-war essence without the wallet-busting price. And the TONE… the TONE!
