Nechville announces a joint venture with Wayne Sagmoen banjos. Wayne has
become known for his expert craftsmanship and creative openback banjo
designs. Reminiscent of the Ashborn Banjos of the 1860's, the Sagmoen
Pots feature Block-style construction with a built-in wooden flange. The
Wood flange reduces the metal part requirements and provides a smoother,
more natural appearance while making the banjo more comfortable to hold.
The Nechville-Sagmoen collaboration has yielded a stunning result that
is sure to get the attention of the entire banjo community. Its called
The Atlas,
and is the first in Nechville’s upcoming line of Hybrid banjos. That,
it has a conventional pot and a Nechville neck assembly, with full
adjustability and ease of use.
Imagine, if you will, taking the all new
Atlas Openback Hybrid Nechville banjo
into your grasp..
... You begin by wrapping one hand around the comfortable, sleek
radiused neck, and strumming your first chord with the other - instantly
realizing what the fuss is all about.
Big sound is not enough to describe what emanates from the
Atlas,
and fullness is an understatement. The depth, resonance, and sustain
capture you as they take on new musical meaning and you begin
communicating through the musical tool that is the
Atlas.
Nechville
has carefully selected, cut and crafted aged timber blocks into an
artful and tonally superior banjo body. The resulting 12" body is
capped with exotic hard tone wood, imparting a dark and warming timbre to
this banjo's sound. We have chosen a Renaissance head for an organic,
mellow, responsive tone.
Completing this unique banjo is a lovely removable dowel stick that you
can use for holding a pickup, or tone altering inserts.
As if the easy, comfortable playability of the radiused neck and the
rich, resonant tone were not enough, you will find yourself experiencing
a level of comfort you didn't know was possible. The comfort beveled
wooden armrest on the
Atlas
gives you many more hours of tireless playing. You'll love our exclusive
thumb scoop, giving access to that sweet spot without loss of fretting
playability.
Our
Nechville
tailpiece, neck and body system are so solid that you'll have no trouble
keeping your new
Atlas
in tune.
Nechville
uses the finest components and issues a full lifetime warrantee with
every banjo creation.
We're
sending the Atlas over the top with
Nechville's
incredible patent-pending adjustable neck,
leaving all other open back banjos behind. You can take your banjo
anywhere by simply disengaging the neck and carrying both parts in a
carry along bag or suitcase. It only takes a moment to pop the neck and
tailpiece back on when you're ready to unpack and play; and you have the
further benefit of choosing the optimum playing action for your own
style.
NO OTHER BANJO
can compare,
so don't settle for less than premium quality craftsmanship and sound.
