We just completed a new Greenbriar for our dealer First Quality Music in Louisville, Ky.  Their customer Shawn Murphy from St. Augustine, Florida, an owner of a Sullivan Vintage 35, wanted to add a Classic to his collection.  After some discussions with Sullivan Banjo’s Tony Wray they decided to add a few “extra” touches to make this banjo a special tribute to Shawn’s Dad.  A little Granada style engraving, gold plating, engraved truss rod cover and a very special name block in Shawn’s Dad’s hand writing made this a true “Classic” for Shawn.  We appreciate you choosing Sullivan Shawn and we wish you many years of enjoyment.

Our new production processes are in place and the first full batch of Vintage-35 Banjos will be completely finished this month! Jeff took a few shots of the parts that we thought were quite artistic and wanted to share. This particular peghead features Brazilian Rosewood, and you can see the new laser engraving on our Sullivan Historic  rim in the background.

Once this run is finished, we’ll have more photos and specifications on the website – Check back soon!
