Belagoria - banjo for Béla Fleck
An exclusive banjo, custom-made for the world's best banjo player, Béla Fleck, and manufactured in collaboration with him.
You can order it with Béla Fleck's exact specifications—it means e.g. with a different (wider) neck shape, compound radius, and a higher, custom-made, hand-crafted bridge. However, we are able to produce a banjo with this design but with your specifications.
Even the inlays was modified by its creator, the outstanding French designer Philippe Boutet, according to Béla's design – the main eye-catching feature is the red elements in beautiful art deco motifs on the individual frets and on the headstock.
The instrument can be made of flamed maple or mahogany.
In the Exclusive version, the metal parts are decorated with rich engraving and galvanized with a combination of 24-carat gold and black nickel.
