HGH Banjos

HGH Banjos A locally based banjo maker that hand carves and sells travel size banjos and mini electric banjos... Woodworking kind of runs in my family, I guess.
(1)

I am originally a songwriter who came to Nashville, TN to record and release my CD some 25 years ago now. As my CD was released and my songs published, I started to hand carve these banjos in my home. My grandfather was a woodworker, which is where I get it from. I wanted to make a banjo that had the iconic banjo sound, but was small and light weight, perfect for traveling. I ended up with a 32 inches long, extremely light weight banjo which is now known as the ‘HGH Traveling Banjo’!

Here’s our latest build. This customer wanted two t-style pick-ups (instead of the optional resophonic cone bridge pick-up) so that’s how we built it. This one will be heading off to New York City later today.

We’ve got two more HGH Banjos working their way through the shop. A customer wanted our older style, with two pick-ups instead of a resonator. We happened to have these two bodies and necks in stock, so here we go! The customer opted for the Tele Style body, which will be painted Pelham Blue. The double-cutaway will be Midnight Black, and will be available soon.

Hi Gang! I just posted this HGH Banjo on Reverb. It's a bit of an oddity, in that it has the double-cutaway body coupled with a t-style neck, and two pick-ups. It's the very last of its kind, so if you are interested, you might want to grab it!

Here’s a project in process that includes something we don’t usually get too involved with, that being inlay. This neck will soon become one with its Dakota Red T Style HGH Reso-Banjo body. If we get it done in time (that’s a pretty big IF) it will make its debut on the Grand Ole Opry sometime in late August.

Watching paint dry... In this case, Dakota Red on an HGH 5 string Reso Banjo. Its new owner is getting anxious!

Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know that we have one of our HGH Short Scale Electric Banjos up for grabs. This one is virtually brand new, but it's been around for a while. We recently got it back from a music store that has fallen on Hard Covid Times. Their loss is your gain!

Here's a link to the listing for it on Reverb. It's only been up there for an hour, and it's already had 40 views. Check it out . . .

I just listed it on Reverb and it already has over 40 views in less than an hour! Check it out . . .

We've been working on a fresh batch of HGH Double Cutaway Short Scale Banjos. In this batch we made the bodies of solid poplar, which is a BIG upgrade from the previous pine bodies. They are a bit thicker too. We had a custom order come in for one with a "Green Burst". The one on the right is what we came up with. What color should we paint YOURS?
