My father estimates the number of Pete Seeger
style Long Necks he produced at around 100 necks total. All of these were made during the first half of the 1960s, many under
the name Omar (from John Augustus Omar Sloan) and with fewer than half having been sold as completed instruments with rims
attached. The Long Neck banjos on this page were all assembled in 2006 from parts made by my father during that early era.
While the number of first generation Sloan banjo components is rapidly diminishing, a limited number of instruments can still
be assembled from these vintage parts. Prices for Long Neck banjos begin at $2100.00.
