Fitch banjos are hand-crafted using only the finest materials and workmanship. I build
each one as if it were for myself. Close attention is paid to every detail. Fit , finish, tone, and playability are first
and foremost. My mission is to provide you with a banjo that not only looks good but, has great tone and playability, at
a very affordable price. A banjo that requires no future upgrades because it already has the best matched components,
hardware, and craftsmanship. Facts: A large percentage of Fitch banjo owners own more than one Fitch banjo. Very few
Fitch banjos are found on the used instrument market. My motto, "Hand-Crafted for a Lifetime" is not just words
but, your assurance that when you receive your new Fitch banjo, it will give you years of pleasure as well as only get better
with time.
Fitch Banjos offers 4 models to choose from. The Fitch
Palomino is my answer to those that suffer with back problems or , just want a light-weight banjo that has lots
of punch and volume. It features the Tony Pass 500TS Archtop Woody rim and maple contruction. At only 8 pounds, it has one
of the nicest tones that you will ever experience. I now offer the Palomino with a flathead tone
ring for those that want a full wieght version, Keith standard tuners, and tortoise binding. The Master's
Five which features mahogany construction, The Masters Five Deluxe featuring walnut construction, and the
Firestorm which is made of presentation grade curly maple . Each banjo comes standard with the
new VINTAGE 75 flathead tone ring and Sullivan Historic Factory Floor maple rim .
In addition to my 2 stock models, I can custom build whatever you need . Archtops, 2-piece flange models, Tony Pass
integrated rim/ring models, optional inlays, bindings, and colors. Feel free to email me with your ideas!
