Prize Details
White Lotus Banjo
The bluegrass-inspired White Lotus banjo, named for its lotus flower inspired inlay pattern, is centered around the patented white oak rim. Notably lacking a traditional heavy tone ring, the natural white oak rim closely recreates a bright, crisp bluegrass punch, ushering in a new era in playing comfort and sound for today’s banjo player. Weighing in at only 8 pounds and featuring the newly patented Deering white oak rim design, this American white oak banjo has the bright tone, crisp and clear note distinction, power, and sustain formerly only seen in banjos with metallic tone rings. Other features include a white oak neck and resonator accented with white binding, an ebony fingerboard and peghead overlay, the Eagle Series style flange, Deering’s comfortable neck shape with the easily recognizable peghead profile and a sparkling glossy finish.
Custom D Model Guitar
Santa Cruz Guitar Company – D Pre-War Model. This time-tested design ensures large bass response and overall volume. The Pre War design package is presented with understated and elegant appointments to emphasize master grade materials, tone and workmanship. It is perfect for the aficionado that loves the advantages of a professional boutique instrument featuring Indian Rosewood sides and back with Sitka Spruce top, unassuming solid square headstock and a V neck with volute. Under the hood, the Pre War design package honors its pre-WWII predecessors with an advanced X and scalloped top bracing. The D/PW’s powerful volume, overtones and rich presence is an epiphany to the uninitiated. Expect the predominant bass and throaty presence of the surviving pre-war antiques. There are no unnecessary design features on this model, simply the finest materials treated to SCGC’s state of the art lutherie.
