The Saturn model is a Helimount banjo, featuring Tom Nechville's unique anodized aluminum Helimount pot assembly, which uses a 3-ply maple rim. If you are not familiar with it, please visit Tom's site for a detailed description.

The Saturn features a traditional appearance but with the innovative Nechville Helimount system and quick action adjustment. It also has a radiused fingerboard as standard.

It comes with Timbr-Tronic Exotic Wood Cap tone ring plus Nechville's exclusive Cyclotronic Rolling Rim pot system with lightweight tone spheres. That wooden tone ring makes for crisp, bright tone and, combined with the Helimount pot, very low weight!

This model comes with a Nechville branded gig bag for a list price of $2880, but please call or email info@zeppmusic.com for our prices.

	The Saturn is a walnut banjo with a rich, gloss finish.			The one-piece walnut neck is super comfortable in the hand!
	The peghead has a classic shape with Nechville's name inlaid into the ebony overlayment.			The Saturn tuners are high quality, Gotoh-brand planetaries for the "long" strings, and a Gotoh brand worm and pinion-geared 5th string.
	The ebony finger board is radiused (7-12" compound), and has a Saturn inlay at the 5th fret.			The banjo comes with a Nechville tailpiece and a Nechville "Enterprise" bridge. There is a wooden tone ring under that Remo head! The beveled wooden armrest is another standard Nechville feature.
	The proprietary heel attachment system provides for instantaneous action adjustment.			The resonator is gorgeous walnut. The hole in the heel provides Allen wrench access for instant action adjustment.
	The Timbr-Tronic Exotic Wood Cap tone ring rides atop Nechville's Cyclotronic Rolling Rim system. The rim itself is 3-ply maple. With the Helimount sytem, head tension changes take mere seconds!
