Foxville

FoxVille was the original name of Burlington, WI. This model has been developed over the years and has been a real workhorse. Fingerboard rises above head 3/16" and the the action is set to 3/16" above the twelth fret. Fifth string is in standard position between the 4th and 5th frets. Banjos ship with bracket wrench, manual, title, 5 year warranty, and leather strap and are included in price. Cases, shipping and handling, and additional customizations are added to the base price. All the banjos come in various grades of Deluxe, Oldtime Special or Parlor which can be viewed in detail above in the FEATURES page link. All banjos will sound and play the same regardless of grade level. The grades add additional levels of detail and ornamentation and that is all. Your banjo can be custom fit to your budget, size, tonal preference, and desired level of detail. Call us and let us work with you. See detailed photos in the Banjo Gallery.
