The White Owl Special

Posted by William E. White on June 6, 2017 at 10:41pm

Broomstick for neck, an old White Owl cigar box for a body, and a signpost picket for a fret board with 16-gauge jewelry wire for frets. She has a 22-inch scale, with 19 frets, and the width of the fret board is 1 1/8", which I find gives a very comfortable tenor banjo feel to the neck. She is tuned E-B-E.
