George Banjos

George Banjos
Tommy George and Christian Stanfield, (who make up George Banjos), are based in Somerville, Tennessee, USA, and primarily make 5 string Banjos.

In 2009 George Banjos added Banjo Ukuleles to the standard catalogue. They do a base model and a 'deco model Concert scale Banjolele in Walnut or Maple, and Custom Banjoleles on request. There are Tenor and Baritone scale Banjoleles included as custom options, but no Sopranos. The Banjoleles are usually open backed, but they can do resonators as a custom option too. In addition to making their bespoke instruments from scratch they also occasionally buy in the parts and only do the assembly work, or they refurbish old Banjoleles for resale, though the say this is not a major part of the business.

In 2017 George Banjos started making Pineapple Ukuleles in batches, I believe they are Concert scale.

Christian Stanfield has opened his own workshop in Memphis but his output is still branded George Banjos and he still works at least one day a week with Tommy George
