Inspired by J.D. Crowe’s legendary RB-3 “Banger,” the OB-3 “Twanger” is a masterfully recreated professional Bluegrass banjo. Its unique “No Hole” flathead tone ring delivers tight sustain and rich projection, while the angled mahogany resonator walls enhance tonal focus. With period-correct inlays, Presto-style tailpiece, concentric resonator rings, and nickel-plated hardware, the OB-3 blends vintage authenticity with modern playability. Includes an archtop hardshell case and a lifetime transferrable warranty.
