Hiya @Jake, @BanjoBen,
I’m thinking more and more about getting an open-back banjo to learn clawhammer.
The General Store has some great options; the Savannah looks like a great low-end option, and the Eastman Whyte Laydie an excellent higher-end one. But neither of them, as far as I can tell, have a scooped neck (which seems very desirable for clawhammer, especially while learning). But, man, I love those whyte laydie inlays!
Your Gold Tone CB-100 has a scooped neck, and lots of other cool features. However, it seems that Gold Tone also makes a CB-100 “Natural” that is the same model and price but has wood-tone headstock and pot. Can you guys order and sell that model, too?

I see these guys all over the interwebs but would love to buy from Ben and take advantage of Jake’s expert setup. Possible?
Thanks as always.
