Here we have a Nechville Phantom Galaxy Maple 5-string banjo!  These are spectacular, very well made instruments.

While retaining traditional banjo values, the Nechville Phantom Galaxy Maple  introduces cutting edge features. A compound radius fingerboard, top quality fretwork with larger frets, tunneled 5th string with roller, the Cyclotronic head-tuning system and Pro-Tone Bronze Tone Ring are some of the advanced elements that make these instruments stand out.

The Nechville Phantom is available in a ‘plain’ version but we mostly see it as the Phantom Galaxy, with a very interesting astronomical Galaxy inlay set.   The Phantom Galaxy is also available in Walnut or  Mahogany, aside from Curly Maple. 

A hard-shell, arched top case is included.

Here’s the builder on the Nechville Phantom Galaxy:

“Introducing Earth’s most advanced banjo. 21st century engineering collides with the five string banjo to make a banjo that is ergonomic, sounds brilliant, and (practically) plays itself. Tradition blends with out-of-this-world innovation in our flagship professional bluegrass banjo. “
