It's done. This banjo has a distinct, extremely loud, extremely clear tone. The maple neck is solid, smooth as glass, and very easy to play. My only regret is that I made the fifth-string peg slightly too close to the fourth. It doesn't buzz or hit the string at all, but you can just barely notice it with your right thumb when playing. I will either wind it the other way, or make a couple bridges with the space between the fifth and fourth string slightly compensated. It's actually not really bad at all, and in fact the appearance may be the thing that bugs me the most, but as a builder, it inevitably rubs my OCD tendencies the wrong way.
