Believe It Billy Failing Model Vintage Eclipse - Pre-owned, Mint Condition Save Big: 90% Off [VJKT4S3E]

Billy Failing from the dynamo Bluegrass infused super group, Billy Strings, prefers the Nechville Heli-Mount, as explained in his own words:

“The Vintage Eclipse’s playability, sustain and clarity inspires experimentation of new modern sounds, while its dynamic range allows the instrument to respond to a full range of musicality, from soft tones to aggressive bluegrass picking. As someone who needs an instrument that does it all - I feel this banjo fits the bill.”

~ Billy Failing, Billy Failing Band & Billy Strings

The iconic “Flying Eagle” inlay combines with Nechville’s beautifully durable and versatile black Eclipse Heli-Mount frame for a classic 30’s look with a modern twist.

With a slightly wider and carefully shaped neck for easy playability, Nechville’s compound radius fingerboard is slim in the hand but powerful in sound. Premium curly Maple delivers both beauty and solidness that translates into lots of musical tone. The tall bridge is carefully crafted to maintain brilliance for Bluegrass while leaving sustain for more sonorous and jazzy sounds.
