But at \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"152\"\u003eBanjo Studio\u003c\/b\u003e, we wanted to push the Sierra platform into a more vintage, soulful territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThis custom \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"25\"\u003e19-Fret Tenor Sierra\u003c\/b\u003e is the result. By blending the punch of a professional resonator banjo with the warmth of a \"plunky\" setup and the aesthetics of legendary banjos, we’ve created a tenor that is as much a visual masterpiece as it is a tonal powerhouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat Makes This \"Custom\"?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThis isn't a factory-standard model. We’ve hand-selected specific appointments to give this banjo a \"Pre-War\" personality:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe \"John Hartford\" Maple Stain:\u003c\/b\u003e Normally, a Maple Sierra features a light, honey-colored finish. We requested the deep, rich, chocolatey stain used on the \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"156\"\u003eJohn Hartford signature model\u003c\/b\u003e. This gives the maple a sophisticated, vintage-brown hue that makes the wood grain pop and sets it apart from any other Sierra on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePre-War Style Flange:\u003c\/b\u003e Instead of the modern Deering flange, this build features a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"82\"\u003eone-piece \"Pre-War\" style flange\u003c\/b\u003e. This provides the classic, iconic silhouette found on the most sought-after banjos of the 1930s, giving the instrument a more traditional, high-end profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFiberskyn Head:\u003c\/b\u003e To tame the natural brightness of a 19-fret tenor, we opted for a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"82\"\u003eFiberskyn head\u003c\/b\u003e. This adds a beautiful warmth and \"thump\" to the attack. If you’re an Irish session player looking for a rounder melody tone, or a jazz player who wants a less \"piercing\" lead, this head choice is the secret sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Foundation: Professional Power\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eUnderneath the custom aesthetics is the heart of a professional Deering.
