Ome Odyssey 5-String Resonator Banjo

The Ome Odyssey 5-String Resonator Banjo is a masterfully crafted bluegrass instrument designed for powerful projection, refined tonal balance, and exquisite visual detail. Built from your choice of Mahogany, Walnut, or Curly Maple, the Odyssey combines traditional craftsmanship with premium Ome engineering for a resonator banjo that excels on stage, in the studio, or in the hands of advanced players.

A 22-fret neck with a 26.25″ scale and 1.28″ nut width offers smooth playability, while ivoroid binding on the peghead, fingerboard, and resonator adds an elegant touch. The ebony fingerboard features Bright Angel abalone and MOP inlays, complemented by an ebony peghead and heel cap. OME planetary tuners with amber knobs ensure accurate tuning, and capo spikes at the 7th and 9th frets provide easy access to alternate tunings.

At its core, the Odyssey uses the acclaimed OME Megatone Flathead tone ring paired with a 3-ply maple rim for clarity, punch, and rich bluegrass depth. The heavy notched brass tension hoop, 24 brackets, and one-piece zinc-alloy flange deliver structural integrity and vibrant resonator response. Finished with a Sweetone tailpiece, Sosebee bridge, nickel hardware, and polished lacquer, the Odyssey stands as a premium expression of modern banjo artistry. A deluxe plush-lined hard-shell case is included.
