The name Banjo Killer was coined by Bryan Sutton for his six-stringed onstage sidekick, back in the day when he burst onto the bluegrass scene in the late 1990s. Featuring a double scalloped “Banjo Killer” X brace design, stiffer back bracing and a 25.5” scale, it’s a powerhouse sloped shoulder dreadnought. This guitar is a showpiece at the 2022 IBMA World of Bluegrass show in Raleigh, NC through October 2nd 2022.
This show piece straight up Slope D Banjo Killer model is handpicked by Dana Bourgeois with figured Mahogany back and sides with a really cool combination of flame and beeswing figuring paired with a highly figured Bearclaw Sitka Spruce natural top. No extra bells and whistles- just the premium tonewoods and the standard specs.
Features include Adirondack Spruce “Banjo Killer” double scalloped bracing, Ziricote fratboard, bridge and headstock overlay, Ivoroid body and neck bindings, DB signature wood arrow backstrip, Mother of Pearl dot inlays, Mahogany satin neck with snakehead headstock and 1 23/32″ nut, Nickel Waverly tuners with Ivoroid buttons and more.
This is indeed a guitar worthy of it’s name. The deep and warm bass, punch of the mids and clarity of the highs will cut through any jam and then some.
