Hi Will,I play an ODE Long Neck that was made about 1960 in Boulder Colo. in the US. Its an exceptionally well made instrument. Very plain and very clean in appearance. I got it several years back when long necks were really out of favor and it was comparitively dirt cheap. $225.00 in US currency. A man I know who is a banjo expert ( Contruction and st up wise.) Tells me that there are few as well made and only two that are argueably better. I assume that means Vegas and Gibsons.
If I had a complaint it is that it is quite heavy.
Regards
Don
